Community development programs
Community Policy Analysis Center:
http://www.cpac.missouri.edu/county_pages/
The Community Policy Analysis Center helps communities explore “what-if”
questions and determine their economic and social consequences. Situations
needing analysis may include the loss or addition of a new industry, change
in a highway intersection, impact of tourism and more. Decision-making
tools are applied with the input of local citizens and decision-makers. CPAC
brings together expertise from University of Missouri Extension and the
Division of Applied Social Sciences in the College of Agriculture, Food and
Natural Resources.
TeleCenter Network:
http://telecenter.missouri.edu/tcrc/
The Missouri TeleCenter Network connects Missourians across the
state through 10 sites via interactive television for meetings, classes and
discussions. For a minimal fee, state agencies and others may use the
network to reduce travel time and costs for employees. The Network provides
an easy venue for “town hall” question-and-answer sessions with public
feedback.

Plan of Work:
http://extension.missouri.edu/planofwork/
A statewide random-sample telephone survey, Web survey, community
discussions on economic development and diversity, and regional and county
extension council needs assessment discussions provide the basis for
University of Missouri Extension program planning. The needs assessments and
plan of work process give a glimpse of what’s on the minds of Missourians
statewide.

Historical View of Appropriated Funds vs. Generated Revenue
MU Extension’s statewide programs are made possible through support from
a variety of partnerships. Funds are appropriated from federal, state and
local governments. The organization also generates revenue from contracts,
grants, recovery of facilities and administrative costs from grants, fees,
gifts, sales and services.
While levels of appropriated funds have remained relatively flat, MU
Extension continues to steadily increase the amount of revenue generated
from other sources. In FY 2007, for the first time, generated funds exceeded
appropriations as a percentage of overall revenue.
All MU Extension funds are leveraged to maximize the impact of
high-priority programming delivered to Missourians. Appropriated funds
provide a base for matching grants and help build faculty infrastructure on
campus and throughout the state. MU Extension faculty, in turn, identify and
secure additional resources to further their educational efforts.
