The All Feather Association progressively serving its poultry and egg members through research, education, communications and technical services.
Uspoultry & Egg Associationinc directs its giving toward poultry and egg industry research, with a clear emphasis on disease prevention, food safety, environmental management, and production efficiency. Its recent grants show a recurring pattern of support for universities and industry-linked research projects, alongside foundation program funding through Uspoultry Harold E Ford Fdn. The largest recent grant in the file was $1,250,000 to Uspoultry Harold E Ford Fdn in Tucker, Georgia for foundation programs, a sign that the organization funds both internal program activity and external research capacity. Research awards are a major part of the profile. NC State University received $204,955 for research, and Mississippi State University received $192,566 for research in 2025. Other sizable awards went to the University of Georgia, Auburn University, Kansas State University, Iowa State University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Minnesota. The pattern is consistent with a funder that reinvests in applied poultry science and industry problem-solving rather than broad general philanthropy. The foundation also supports student recruitment and career development through its broader poultry and egg industry mission, linking grantmaking to workforce pipeline needs as well as research priorities.
A core theme in the grant record is poultry research tied to industry priorities. In 2025, Uspoultry & Egg Associationinc gave $204,955 to NC State University for research, and in the same year it awarded $192,566 to Mississippi State University for research. The stated program areas point to disease prevention, food safety, environmental management, and production efficiency. The foundation also backs research at other land-grant universities. It gave $152,401 to the University of Georgia in 2024 for research and $124,976 to Auburn University in 2024 for research. Kansas State University received $115,000 in 2024 for research, showing support for poultry science work across multiple states. Industry-linked research is not the only emphasis. The foundation’s active programs also include student recruitment, scholarships, and career development support, which connects grantmaking to the future workforce for the poultry and egg sector.
Typical awards sit in a mid-sized research-grant range: the 25th percentile is $75,861, the median is $109,361, and the 75th percentile is $152,285. The recent grant list also shows a much larger outlier at $1,250,000, which appears under foundation programs rather than research. That suggests a mix of standard project grants and larger internal or programmatic allocations. The funding record includes repeated recipients across multiple years, especially Mississippi State University, the University of Georgia, NC State University, and Uspoultry Harold E Ford Fdn. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Two active research programs accept unsolicited proposals, including the Comprehensive Research Program Competition and the Board Research Initiative Competition; other research and scholarship programs are administered through the foundation or association.

Grantmaking is regional, with Georgia as the top state by grant count and 35% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. The recent recipient list is entirely domestic, with 17 grants and all of them in the United States. Recent awards reached Athens, Raleigh, Mississippi State, Auburn, Manhattan, Ames, College Park, Minneapolis, and Newark. The Georgia concentration is visible in awards to Tucker and Athens, but the footprint extends across major poultry-research states in the Southeast and Midwest.
The grant record centers on poultry and egg industry research, especially disease prevention, food safety, environmental management, and production efficiency. Active programs also include student recruitment, scholarships, career development support, and industry-identified research competitions tied to poultry health and production problems.
The 25th percentile grant is $75,861, the median is $109,361, and the 75th percentile is $152,285. Most recent awards in the list fall within that band, although one foundation-program grant reached $1,250,000.

Other programs in the file, including the foundation research grants and student scholarship support, are listed as not accepting unsolicited applications.
No. Georgia is the top state by grant count, and 35% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, but the recipient list also includes institutions in North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, and Delaware. The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based.
