The deadline is approaching for dairy associations, nonprofits, and educational organizations across the country to apply for grants of up to $10,000 to support educational initiatives that develop people, spark innovation and strengthen the future of dairy. Applications for grants from Dairy’s Foundation are due June 1, 2026.

Dairy’s Foundation has awarded more than $370,000 in grants since 2010 to organizations nationwide to fund programs that educate dairy producers, support the next generation of industry leaders and share dairy’s story in communities.

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

“A strong dairy community starts with people who are willing to learn, lead and invest in the future,” said Brian Forrest, dairy producer from Stratford, and chair of Dairy’s Foundation board of directors. “Dairy’s Foundation is proud to support organizations that are creating meaningful educational opportunities and helping strengthen dairy from the farm gate to the consumer.”
