Dairy product manufacturers in five Midwestern states can now to apply for a new $1 million round of grants to be administered by the Dairy Business Innovation Alliance. The initiative is a partnership between the Center for Dairy Research and the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.
The program is targeted to help dairy businesses develop an idea or tackle a challenge with the potential to advance the dairy industry as a whole. Reimbursable grants of up to $250,000 each will be awarded through a competitive review process. Grant recipients will be required to share results of their project.
"Bold innovation is key to the advancement of the dairy industry," said WCMA Director John Umhoefer. "These grants help entrepreneurs maximize the impact of their efforts and move the industry forward by sharing what they've learned."
The Dairy Industry Impact grant application period opened earlier this week on the DBIA website. Applicants must be located in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, or Wisconsin.
