The Extension Foundation is part of the Cooperative Extension System (CES), which encompasses all U.S. states and territories.

- Synthesize grant team members’ input for incorporation into the grant narrative to provide clarity, consistency, and context to make the grant easily read and understood.

- Thoroughly review and edit for narrative quality, content completion, alignment with provided design documents and RFA requirements, formatting, grammar, and punctuation.
