Connecticut Milk Promotion Board Farmer Engagement Grant

The Connecticut Milk Promotion Board (CTMPB), administered by the Connecticut Department of Agriculture and funded by the dairy checkoff, offers Farmer Engagement grants for programs designed to educate and engage Connecticut dairy farmers on the utilization of their checkoff dollars and to promote Connecticut dairy farms and the consumption of milk and dairy products.

Qualified entities including businesses, extension agencies, agricultural and non-profit organizations, universities, community colleges, educational institutions, agricultural science schools, research organizations, and contract media vendors.

Checkoff-funded engagement/promotion grant. The $700,000 figure is the combined pool across all three CTMPB funding programs, not this RFA alone.

Applications are submitted through the CTMPB Farmer Engagement Grant online form (cognitoforms.com/CTDoAg/CTMPBFarmerEngagementGrantApplicationFY2627). Up to $700,000 in funding is available across the three CTMPB funding programs combined for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
