Ontario Dairy Youth Trust Fund

The Dairy Youth Trust Fund is a registered charity with the goal of helping to develop the youth in the dairy industry to ensure Ontario’s strong future in agriculture. Today’s youth are the most important resource we have as an industry and they need to be recognized as such, fostered to develop the skills they need to maintain and strengthen the dairy industry into the future. Established in 1994, the Ontario Dairy Youth Trust Fund has been doing just that. Trustees of the Trust Fund are a responsible group of nine individuals who are committed to ensuring sound financial management and to providing opportunities for dairy youth.

The Ontario Dairy Youth Trust Fund is a Non-Profit, charitable organization that is funded solely through donations from industry as well as private donations. Each year, the Trust Fund spends over $30,000 in maintaining its programs for the youth of our industry. Donations are valuable to help not only in maintaining current programs, but to expanding and starting new programs to further assist our youth. The reach of this program is immeasurable and has already helped so many young people who are now becoming pillars in the dairy industry. Tax receipts are issued to donors with special recognition also made to those of various levels of support. The Trust Fund provides an opportunity for individuals, families or organizations to make simple, effective charitable donations.

There are many ways you can help out the Ontario Dairy Youth Trust Fund, you may choose one of these ways:

Gifts of Cash
- With gifts of cash, you receive a donation receipt for the full amount.
Gifts of Securities
