DONATIONS

Foremost Farms USA is a dairy cooperative, owned by dairy farmers. Farmers are the reason why we can all feed and nurture our families – keep in mind that America’s farm families represent only two percent of the population and feed the other 98 percent with the fruits of their labor. They support our local and global economies; and they help our culture and traditions thrive. Foremost Farms, on behalf of these dairy farm family members and employees, also have a proud history of giving back directly to our local communities.

Focus Areas

We maximize our impact within our limited budget and resources by supporting causes that matter most to our members and employees that also align with our values, the dairy industry and our dairy products manufacturing business.

These include:

• • Dairy-related educational events,
  • First responders that our member farms and production facilities rely on for our safety, and
  • Select community events that have a broad impact – with extra consideration for dairy-themed events.

Foremost Farms is also dedicated to feeding hungry people through an exclusive, dedicated partnership to donate wholesome dairy products to Paul’s Pantry, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We selected Paul’s Pantry due to the high volume of people it serves, relationships with other food banks, proximity to our production facilities, ability to convert wholesale packaging to retail sizes and because it receives no federal, state or local tax revenue and relies entirely on community support.

*Foremost Farms does not have products available in retail sizes, so we typically do not contribute products. However, we do consider donating funds to purchase dairy products that will be used by eligible organizations at approved events.

ELIGIBILITY

Foremost Farms contributes to nonprofit and not-for-profit organizations in counties and communities in the seven-state region where our members, plants and offices are located and are dedicated to the focus areas listed above. Our exclusions include but are not limited to individuals, for-profit organizations and businesses, fund redistribution organizations, political or crowd-sourcing funding efforts.
