#CCEResponds 2025 Year-End Giving Campaign

Cultivating Resilience in Dutchess County

For 112 years, Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County has stood beside our neighbors with research-based guidance, hands-on education, and programs that strengthen families, farms, youth, and our environment. As our community continues to face new challenges, your support ensures that CCEDC can respond with the stability and care Dutchess County counts on.

Your gift today strengthens the foundation that keeps every CCEDC program moving forward. Grants fund individual activities. Donor support powers the operational backbone that allows our staff to teach, adapt, innovate, and meet emerging needs. When you give, you are investing in the people and systems that make real change possible.

Your contribution supports youth learning leadership skills through 4-H and Green Teen, families gaining essential tools for wellbeing, local growers receiving guidance from Agriculture and Horticulture educators, residents adopting cleaner energy practices, and small businesses thriving through Taste NY at Todd Hill. Every one of these efforts depends on a strong foundation built by community members like you.

A year-end, tax-deductible gift helps CCEDC cultivate resilience across the county, ensuring we have the resources, training, and infrastructure to serve effectively in 2026 and beyond. Your generosity keeps trusted programs accessible to all and helps our community grow stronger together.

Donate today and help us continue this work for the next generation.
