2-10 IAN Cattle Grant
Statewide Funding Available for Livestock Education Programs.
The Idaho Cattle Foundation (ICF) is requesting 2014 funding applications for public and/or higher education programs that advance the state's livestock industry to be received by February 14th. Through an application process available at www.idahocattlefoundation.org, the ICF will recommend funding to the Idaho State Board of Education for livestock education programs. Spokesperson Britany Hurst: "Funding is available from the proceeds of the Unclaimed Livestock Account for programs which advance Idaho's livestock-based industries through public or higher education. "
In 2013, the Carl Hunt Family Beef Education and Research Endowment under the direction of the University of Idaho was appropriated $50,000.00 from the recommendation of the ICF. The Hunt Family Endowment helps further beef cattle education in the state of Idaho by granting funding to undergraduate and graduate research programs dedicated to the beef cattle livestock industry. Jim Little, ICF chairman explained "We are confident that the Hunt Family Endowment will advance Idaho's livestock industry, putting last year's unclaimed livestock funds back to work for the industry," "and we look forward to applications this year."
The Idaho Cattle Foundation is a charitable organization established by the Idaho Cattle Association to provide an Idaho beef industry presence in education and science, priding itself in being the state's official organization tasked with recommending unclaimed livestock proceeds. Applications for these educational funds are available at www.idahocattlefoundation.org and will be accepted until 5:00 pm February 14th 2014.
