Dairy’s Foundation is the only public-held national foundation supporting dairy education and initiatives across the entire dairy industry food chain. The Foundation has awarded more than $350,000 through the grant program to date.
“The support from Dairy’s Foundation helped us introduce new programming to reach college-level students and encourage them to consider careers in the dairy industry as well as to provide them with skills that will be essential in their future,” said Jayne Sebright, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence in Pennsylvania. “We appreciate that Dairy’s Foundation grants are made available across the country; without the Foundation’s support, we would not have been able to expand our program the way we did.”
Applications are due June 1, 2025, with notifications made by Aug. 1, 2025. Applications will be reviewed by an independent grant-selection committee. Organizations with a tax status of 501(c)(3) or (5) may apply. Inquiries about Dairy’s Foundation grants can be sent to info@dairyfoundation.org.
