Nonprofit Technical Assistance
infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities
MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.
Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.
Nonprofit technical assistance for those preparing to launch a nonprofit is available through Community Development and Regional Economic Development Specialists from the University of Missouri Extension.
