Juneau, Wis. – Dairy associations, nonprofits, and educational organizations across the country are invited to apply for grants of up to $10,000.

“As the only public-held national foundation supporting dairy education and initiatives across the entire dairy industry food chain, Dairy’s Foundation grants are a unique opportunity for organizations to kick-start new ideas for their communities, students or dairy producers,” said Brian Forrest, dairy producer from Stratford, Wis., and chair of Dairy’s Foundation board of directors.

Since 2010, Dairy’s Foundation has awarded more than $365,000 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.
