About American Dairy Association Mideast

American Dairy Association Mideast’s grantmaking is anchored in school wellness and dairy education, with repeated support for incentives that help schools promote healthy habits and improve access to milk, yogurt, and cheese. Its recent grants also show sustained environmental stewardship funding, including a three-year pattern of $50,000 awards to Ohio Agricultural Conservation Council from 2023 through 2025. The foundation works across Ohio and West Virginia and describes its role as representing dairy farm families while sharing farmers’ stories and delivering science-based information to health professionals, schools, media, and consumers. That mission shows up in the grants list: Gen Youth Foundation received multiple awards tied to health incentives, while Ohio State University Foundation appears in education funding across more than one year. Ohio County School District and Marshall Co Wv Board of Education also received school-based support in West Virginia, reflecting a practical, programmatic approach centered on youth health and school settings. The pattern suggests a funder that uses grants to advance dairy in schools, farm-to-school education, public communications, and sustainability, rather than making broad unrestricted awards.

What American Dairy Association Mideast Funds

School nutrition is a clear emphasis. American Dairy Association Mideast gave $35,000 in 2025 and $24,268 in 2023 to Ohio State University Foundation for education, and it supported school-based work at Youngstown City School District with $7,708 in 2023. These grants fit its dairy-in-schools and school-meals programming. Youth health incentives appear as another major line of work. Gen Youth Foundation received $80,337 in 2025, $21,489 in 2023, and $10,000 in 2024, all tied to incentive-health purposes. The foundation also awarded $16,844 to Ohio County School District in 2024 and $11,481 to Marshall Co Wv Board of Education in 2025 for incentive-health work. Environmental stewardship is visible as a separate thread. Ohio Agricultural Conservation Council received $50,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for environmental stewardship.

How American Dairy Association Mideast Gives

Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $10,612, median of $17,853, and p75 of $50,000. The list shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including Ohio Agricultural Conservation Council, Ohio State University Foundation, Gen Youth Foundation, and several school districts, which points to ongoing program relationships rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation is a regional grantmaker, based on an annual grants budget of $606,095 and total assets of $2,544,853. It does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. Unsolicited applications are accepted for Fuel Up, while the other listed program entries do not indicate that route.
