We need your help to keep the OSU Master Gardener Advanced Training Webinar Series going in 2019 & beyond!
The backstory: This series was started at the county level in 2017. Free access was extended to all Master Gardeners statewide because the technology was provided at no cost. Due to changes in the structure of the national Extension organization, OSU Extension will no longer have free access to their webinar platform and technical support staff starting in 2019. We feel our webinar series provides a valuable and accessible educational opportunity to our Master Gardener volunteers and we’re not ready to stop yet! But, each monthly webinar costs ~$250 to deliver (with the speakers generously donating their time). We have secured temporary funding to keep the webinars going at least through May 2019.
If you or your county MG Association would like to support this series, please consider making a tax-deductible donation via the Agricultural Research Foundation at Oregon State University.
You can donate online: Visit the Donate Now page of the Agricultural Research Foundation, and select the ‘Master Gardener Advanced Training Webinars‘ link. From there, you can click on the yellow Donate button to make a tax-deductible donation via PayPal or credit card.
Donations will be used for:
- Monthly subscription costs of the webinar software
