What is the Beefmaster Educational Endowment Foundation ....
The Foundation is a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation formed in 2009. B.E.E.F. is
affiliated with Beefmaster Breeders United (BBU) which was founded in 1961. The
Foundation is dedicated to making a great breed of cattle even better through
scientific research, education of the breed's future leaders and providing valuable
information to the public about the Beefmaster Breed as superior meat production
animal.
The motivation to form the Foundation came from Dr. Tommy Perkins speaking at
BBU's 2008 mid year board meeting in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Perkins envisioned
the need for a foundation to be formed which could spearhead valuable research into
the genetic make up of the Beefmaster breed while providing BBU membership a
means to gift scarce tax deductible monies to assure the future of the breed.
Understanding the importance of Dr. Perkin's vision, two BBU members took up the
challenge and completed the formation process in July 2009.
The future of any human endeavor is the next generation of leaders being prepared
and able to carry on where the prior generation leaves off. The current generation
must invest in its youth to produce the strongest, best educated individuals. The
Foundation through its scholarship program intends to attract, educate and retain
young women and men who will become leaders in BBU, their communities and the
agricultural industry.
The Foundation is staffed 100% with volunteers. No salaries are paid. Therefore,
compared to the typical foundation, a very large portion of every dollar goes back
into education and research.
B.E.E,F. Belongs To You !!!! Take Time To Give.
