Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Advertising and promotion grants to state and regional dairy boards
National Dairy Board generic milk advertising, roughly 10% of annual total
Large regional promotion agencies: Dairy Max, Empire State, Michigan
Small state milk promotion boards in New England and the Plains

Typical grant

Median grant is about $894,000, with the middle half between $134,000 and $1.6 million. The big checks go to a fixed hierarchy: National Dairy Board at $27 to $28 million a year, Dairy Max at $16 million, Empire State Development at $6 million, while small state boards like North Dakota, New Jersey and New England Dairy get $22,000 to $60,000. Every recipient repeats annually, with amounts moving only a few percent year over year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“ADVERTISING PROGRAM”
“DAIRY PROMOTION”
“MILK PROMOTION BOARD”
“DAIRY INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT”

Positioning adjacent work

Do not treat this as a grantmaker; it is a checkoff pass-through to statutory dairy promotion bodies.
If you want this money, work through a state dairy board or the National Dairy Board, not directly.
Frame any proposal as advertising, promotion or market development for fluid milk and dairy products.
Realistic project scale sits inside a state board's budget, so think tens of thousands, not millions.

Worth knowing: All 113 grants over four years carry the identical purpose line, ADVERTISING PROGRAM, and go to the same 29 dairy promotion boards and commissions, which means this is dairy checkoff assessment money flowing to designated qualified programs rather than discretionary philanthropy. There is no evidence of a single grant outside that closed set, so an unaffiliated researcher has essentially no path in without a state or national dairy board partner.
