Local Lamb Promotional Funding Program taking apps
The deadline is approaching to submit an application for the American Lamb Board’s (ALB) Local Lamb Promotional Funding Program: All applications must be received by February 28, 2019.
The Program is designed to support local or regional programs and activities that promote American Lamb to non-industry audiences (consumers, chefs, media, retailers etc.).
This is a competitive funding process – the American Lamb Board will give priority to projects that demonstrate a clearly defined plan addressing a lamb promotional opportunity and a commitment to share the cost of executing the promotion.
These funds are intended to offset the total cost of the promotion rather subsidizing the entire cost.

Any breed, state or regional sheep industry organization or coop
Individual sheep producers
