Bulk Milk Grant

Schools and districts can apply for Bulk Milk grant packages. Grant packages provide nearly everything needed to transition from serving milk in single-use containers to serving it in bulk.

Grant packages includes a bulk milk dispenser, stand, reusable cups, dish racks, program and marketing materials, and technical assistance.

Bulk Milk grant cycles open as program funding is available.

ELIGIBILITY

  • Grant packages are open to K-12 school districts in the U.S.
  • Districts must participate in the National School Lunch Program with an enrollment of at least 100 students per school site.
  • Schools must have a dish machine to wash reusable cups (cups and dish racks are provided in the grant package).
  • Districts must be able to identify a bulk milk bib supplier in their area. See our national directory of milk bib suppliers. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of milk bib suppliers — if you do not see options in your area, reach out to your current milk and food suppliers to inquire about bib availability. We will continue to update our directory as more options become available.
  • Districts must commit to serving only unflavored varieties of milk, or transition to serving only unflavored varieties within six months of bulk milk machine implementation.
