School Grants

Grant Writing Tips

• Proposals should increase access to school meals and promote dairy sales and include marketing/promotion and student engagement plans.
• Funding is limited and awarded based on strength of plan and potential impact.
• Schools may only apply for one program at a time.
• Incomplete applications and those with vague answers will not be considered for funding.
• If awarded,  schools/districts will need to provide baseline, initial, and final data,  three-five photos of the program as well as a completed final narrative report. Failure to submit these required items by established deadlines will put future New England Dairy funding at risk.
