About our partners

Partners are the critical component of the successful work of the Leopold Center and its investigators, conference planners and members of research teams and special projects. The Leopold Center has funded 224 competitive grants, 153 events and a number of special projects and research teams. While too numerous to list here, Leopold Center partners have included a number of ISU departments, ISU area and county extension offices and field staff, resource conservation districts, government agencies, community colleges and school districts, many farm organizations and non-profit groups, associations, networks and programs.

Our past partnerships have been linked to funding, whereas our current and future partnerships are focused first on values, learning and information sharing, with joint funding efforts and direct Center support as the secondary level of interaction.
