About the ADGA Research Foundation

In 1976, the American Dairy Goat Association Board of Directors, at their Annual Meeting, proposed and adopted the ADGA Research Foundation for the purpose of promoting and directing research and educational activities concerning dairy goats.  The Foundation is a non-profit corporation that serves as an independent arm of ADGA under the management of its Trustees with is own banking accounts.  The Foundation conducts its own business and is accountable to ADGA only for finances with an annual full report of its activities.  Trustees are appointed by the ADGA Executive Committee and serve for one year or until replaced.
