How Do I... Donate to UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County?
Make a Difference
UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County is a partnership that shares science-based knowledge with our community to create better outcomes for families, businesses and our environment. A part of improving Sarasota County since 1927, our programs last year reached nearly 62,000 people and our volunteers provided almost 17,000 hours of service valued at roughly $432,000.
Community support provides us an opportunity to expand and enhance our research-based educational programs and classes to reach an even-wider audience and make a greater impact here in Sarasota County. Consider making a tax-exempt donation through the University of Florida Foundation to help support our programs in agriculture, gardening and landscaping, natural resources, nutrition and healthy living, sustainability, and youth development.
