What Dairy Practices Council does
Mission
To develop and disseminate educational guidelines directed to proper and improved sanitation practices in the production/processing of milk, and the manufacture of dairy products.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Facilitate the adoption of sound, uniform, and improved procesures related to the production, processing, and distribution of high quality fluid milk and dairy products. The intent of these objectives is a cooperative effort of industry, education, and regulatory. The further interest is not to duplicate these objectives, but to cooperate with other organizations which have similar goals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $78k to $120k (+55%).
How it's funded, over time

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
