    About Fats and Proteins Research Foundation

    Fats and Proteins Research Foundation centers its giving on research that supports the rendering industry and its partners: improving current uses of rendered animal products, refining rendering processes, and developing new applications. In 2023, its largest reported grant was $370,253 to Clemson University in Clemson, SC, reflecting the foundation’s strong link to applied research and collaborative industry work. The foundation’s recent grant list also includes University of Guelph in Guelph, ON, showing that its research funding extends beyond the United States. The foundation’s program areas are tightly tied to industry use cases. Grants have supported livestock nutrition, including aquaculture, pet food nutrition, feed safety, sustainability, and novel technologies. Its structure is that of a public charity, with annual grants of $670,964 and total assets of $1,291,777 on the latest 990 year on file. Progress reporting is built into funded projects, with regular reports required every six months for active awards. The pattern is research-oriented rather than individual giving, and the emphasis stays on projects that can be applied within rendering and animal agriculture contexts.

    What Fats and Proteins Research Foundation Funds

    One major theme is microbial safety and product validation in animal co-products. Fats and Proteins Research Foundation gave $370,253 to Clemson University for research, and the foundation’s ACREC partnership with Clemson is explicitly focused on microbial safety of rendered products, environmentally sound practices, and new market opportunities. A second area is animal nutrition. The foundation awarded $76,500 to University of Guelph for research, alongside grantmaking priorities that include livestock nutrition, aquaculture nutrition, and pet food nutrition. Another example is Texas A&M AgriLife Research, which received $59,173 in 2023 for research. The foundation also funds feed-safety and process-oriented work. Its research grants are designed to improve rendering processes, enhance uses of rendered animal products, and develop novel applications, including sustainability and new technologies. Firman Farms Inc received $53,340 for research, fitting the foundation’s applied, industry-linked approach.

    How Fats and Proteins Research Foundation Gives

    The foundation’s typical award size sits in a fairly tight band: p25 is $54,798, median is $67,836, and p75 is $76,575. That points to mid-sized research grants rather than very small seed funding or very large capital-style awards. The 2023 grant list shows both recurring institutional partners and competitive research awards, with Clemson University appearing through the ACREC collaboration and additional research programs issued as requests for proposals. The foundation is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Funded projects carry a progress-reporting requirement every six months, in April and September, until completion.
