The Meat Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the meat industry through research, education, and scholarships. Born from the merger of the Foundation for Meat and Poultry Research and Education and the NAMI Scholarship Foundation in 2024, we're committed to driving innovation and fostering the next generation of industry leaders.
 

For over eight decades, we've been at the forefront of identifying strategies to produce safer and more sustainable meat and poultry products. Our comprehensive approach encompasses critical areas such as food safety, nutrition, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. Through our research initiatives, we aim to address industry challenges and drive scientific advancements.

We also believe in investing in the future of the industry by providing scholarships to talented students pursuing careers in meat science, food science, and related fields. By supporting education and training, we're helping to develop the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of the meat industry.
