Appropriations Request: Support Dairy Business Growth
Call on Congress Now to Boost DBII Program Funding
Advocate Now
In the months ahead, Congress will be considering requests for 2026 appropriations - that is, funding for key federal programs, including the Dairy Business Innovation (DBI) Initiatives. The House of Representatives is supporting a plan that allocates just $8 million to be shared across the four DBI centers, a significant reduction in funding.
As appropriations plans advance, it is essential that you advocate now for continued - and increased - DBI funding. With just a few clicks, you can message your elected officials, particularly Senate leaders who have yet to weigh in on DBI funding, letting them know you want to see them support this program.
Have questions? Please contact WCMA Senior Director of Programs & Policy Rebekah Sweeney anytime at rsweeney@wischeesemakers.org.
Thank you for your engagement, and your effort!
