Organic Dairy Product Promotion Grant Closing Soon
NDBIC Organic Dairy

The deadline is nearing for applications for the Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center's *Organic Dairy Product Promotion (ODPP) Grant [ [link removed] ],* a new grant made possible through the USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation

The program offers funds to *purchase organic dairy products* for use in youth-focused institutional food service programs (ages 5-25). This opportunity is part of a national initiative to increase the consumption of organic dairy among children and young adults while supporting partnerships with, and networks of, small and mid-sized organic dairy producers.

Funded projects will address one of the following areas:


* Expansion of current organic dairy procurement: Existing sourcing of organic dairy products will be supplemented with additional Northeast organic dairy products
* Addition of organic dairy products: Institutions that do not currently serve organic dairy products will begin to source and serve Northeast organic dairy

Grants will range from $50,000 - $500,000 with no match requirement. $1,750,000 is available this round. This is the first of two times that this grant will be offered. 

*The application will be open until July 31, 2025 at 2 PM ET*.
