Funding Opportunities for Dairy Producers and Students

The next application deadline for grants from Dairy’s Foundation is December 1, 2024. Organizations nationwide can apply for grants up to $10,000. These grants support new programs that build skills for students or dairy producers and increase public trust in dairy.

“For over two decades, Dairy’s Foundation has supported educational and outreach efforts,” said Brian Forrest, board chair. “Grants are an excellent way to fund new programs or boost efforts to connect with consumers and communities.”

As the only public-held national foundation supporting dairy education and initiatives across the entire dairy industry food chain, Dairy’s Foundation 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 to their neighbors in rural and urban settings.

Applications will be reviewed by an independent grant-selection committee. Organizations with a tax status of 501(c)(3) or (5) may apply.
