Dairy’s Foundation Grants Open for 2025 Applications

The deadline is approaching for organizations to apply for Dairy’s Foundation grants, which fund educational and dairy-focused projects. For more than two decades, Dairy’s Foundation has supported education and sustainability efforts within the dairy industry, awarding over $365,000 in grants to nonprofit initiatives across the nation.

Applications for 2025 grants of up to $10,000 will be accepted through December 1, 2025. Eligible applicants include dairy associations, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions with 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(5) tax status. Full application details can be found at www.DairyFoundation.org.

Dairy’s Foundation concentrates its support in three key areas: developing the next generation of dairy professionals, enhancing public trust in dairy products and producers, and strengthening producers’ skills.

“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 evaluated by an independent selection committee. Questions can be directed to info@dairyfoundation.org.
