The Pacific Coast Coalition has launched its Round 6 Dairy Diversification Grants, providing up to $500,550 to U.S. dairy producers for innovation and diversification projects.
The Pacific Coast Coalition–Dairy Business Innovation Initiative (PCC–DBII) has officially opened the application window for its highly anticipated Round 6 grants, signaling a crucial opportunity for strategic investment in the western U.S. dairy sector. The grant program is immediately available to eligible dairy farmers and producers seeking capital to advance their operations. All applications must be submitted by the firm deadline of October 31, marking a critical cutoff for businesses aiming to capitalize on this round of federal funding designed to stimulate regional growth and mitigate market risk.
Under explicit federal guidelines, the strategy favors projects concentrating on market diversification and establishing higher-value uses for dairy products. The total grant pool lies between $155,550 to $500,550, contingent upon U.S. political developments. The application deadline is October 31, with project commencement slated for December 1, subject to the grant's contractual finalization. The spending period ends on July 31 of the following year. Applicants can benefit from additional support via internship and technical assistance programs.
