Developing A Dairy Program? Grants Available

The next application deadline for grants from Dairy’s Foundation is Dec. 1. What’s available? Grants of up to $10,000! Recipients can use the money for new programs to build the skills of students or dairy producers or increase public trust in the people and products of dairy.

“For more than two decades, Dairy’s Foundation has supported educational and outreach efforts in our industry,” says Brian Forrest, a dairy producer from Stratford and chair of Dairy’s Foundation board of directors. “Grants are a great way to fund a new educational program or provide additional support to launch or promote efforts to share our story with consumers, communities, and more.”

Dariy’s Foundation is the only public-held national foundation supporting dairy education and initiatives across the entire dairy industry food chain. The organization strives to identify emerging educational needs and help fill gaps in funding for new or innovative programs. Since 2010, Dairy’s Foundation has awarded more than $335,000 in grants to support vital programs that equip the dairy community with the latest tools and resources to be effective managers, leaders, and ambassadors of dairy.

An independent grant-selection committee will review the applications. Organizations with a tax status of 501(c)(3) or (5) may apply.
