Juneau, Wis. – The deadline is nearing for applications for grants to fund dairy-focused projects and educational programs. For more than 20 years, Dairy’s Foundation has raised funds and awarded grants to support educational and sustainability initiatives for the dairy industry and those impacted by it, including more than $365,000 in grants to support work of nonprofits around the country.
Applications are open through Dec. 1, 2025, for grant requests up to $10,000. Organizations, including dairy associations, nonprofits and educational organizations with a tax status of 501(c)(3) or (5) may apply. Application information is available at www.DairyFoundation.org.
Dairy’s Foundation focuses support in three areas: raising the next generation of professional dairy producers, growing and maintaining public trust in our people and products, and building the skills of our dairy producers.
“Dairy’s Foundation was established by dairy producers and industry professionals who believed that education at all levels is key to a strong, sustainable dairy industry and rural communities,” said board chair, Dairy’s Foundation board chair and Stratford, Wis., dairy producer. “The grant program provides opportunities for programs that develop people, spark innovation and strengthen the future of dairy.”
Applications will be reviewed by an independent grant-selection committee.
