COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK NIAGRA COUNTY

The Cooperative Extension Association in the State of New York Niagara County provides community-based educational and outreach services rooted in land-grant university research, primarily focused on agriculture, youth development, and local resource management. Their core capabilities include delivering extension programs in food safety, sustainable farming practices, 4-H youth engagement, and family and consumer sciences, leveraging science-based methodologies to support public welfare and rural resilience. They specialize in translating complex technical knowledge into accessible, community-driven training and workshops, often collaborating with local stakeholders to address regional challenges in nutrition, environmental stewardship, and agricultural productivity. Their approach emphasizes participatory education, adult learning principles, and program evaluation to ensure measurable community impact. No agency award history is available to inform specific federal or state client relationships. Consequently, there is insufficient data to identify recurring agency partnerships or the nature of any government-funded work. The contractor operates under NAICS 813990, which classifies it as an “Other Similar Organizations (Except Business, Professional, Labor, and Political Organizations),” indicating its role as a nonprofit extension service. In practice, this means the organization functions as a public-private partnership delivering non-advocacy, non-political educational services funded through state, federal, and local grants, primarily in support of USDA Cooperative Extension System objectives. Their market positioning is centered on grassroots engagement rather than commercial contracting. The entity is structured as a nonprofit organization (ZZ) based in Lockport, NY, with no government certifications on record. Its geographic presence is localized to Niagara County and surrounding areas of New York State, where it serves as a key conduit for state and federal extension programs. The organization’s operational model is community-focused, relying on local networks and university partnerships rather than federal procurement channels.
