The Stichting Fonds voor Pluimveebelangen is an independent Dutch foundation founded in 1936 to promote innovation in the Dutch poultry sector. It finances projects in primary poultry production, processing, marketing and the supplying industry, with priority for innovative projects that strengthen competitiveness, sector cooperation and sustainability, including animal health, animal welfare and food safety. Funding is mainly in the form of subsidies for knowledge dissemination and interest-bearing loans for developing digital or material products, generally covering up to 50% of project costs. The fund is managed by a board drawn from poultry sector organisations with an independent chair, and its capital is managed by Rabobank. It is based in Nieuwegein, Netherlands.
