FOND DU LAC, Wis.---The Professional Dairy Producers Foundation (PDPF) is making grant funds
available to non-profit organizations who share PDPF's passion and vision for education.
Grant dollars will be available to those organizations with unique ideas in the following two focus areas:
1) Building producer professionalism, or 2) Maintaining public trust.
In 2010, the Foundation awarded two grants—one to the Maryland Dairy Shrine for animal well-being
education, and one to the North Carolina Association for Dairy Stabilization and Growth for producer
education and networking. These grants were given in addition to support of youth and education
programs of Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin (PDPW), which established the foundation in
2002.
"In addition to our consistent support of PDPW, we want to bring new ideas to light that align with
PDPF’s strategic vision for the dairy industry," says Deb Reinhart, dairy producer and Chair of the
Foundation Board.
Organizations may apply for grants of up to $5,000. The maximum amount given to any one
organization will be $5,000. For grant criteria and an application package, visit

Grant applications are due December 9, 2011.
