Our funding powers our projects and educational opportunities
We engage in fund development opportunities designed to enhance the Island County Master Gardener programs and complement the WSU Extension Master Gardener Program and extend our reach in communities throughout Washington.
The State Foundation
The primary efforts of the State Foundation are concentrated on furthering the horticultural education of our volunteers and members of the public; to provide leadership for and communication of state-wide best practices for the funding of our programs; and working with WSU to enhance the Extension Master Gardener Program.
The Advanced Education Conference (AEC)
The AEC is a multi-day annual event that takes place in the fall. It is open to the public and serves as advanced education for certified Master Gardener volunteers. Click here for more information on the upcoming Advanced Education Conference.
Partnering with WSU
Since its creation of the Master Gardener Program, WSU Extension has been the leader in innovating programs to meet the needs of our communities and our volunteers. Our Foundations partnered with WSU to expand upon and accelerate this program development.
Now, WSU is innovating again with the nation’s first Endowed Faculty Chair. We are helping to raise funds to ensure that WSU Extension Master Gardeners has a permanent member of the faculty dedicated to furthering the mission of our program.
