What North Carolina Poultry Federation, Inc. does

The North Carolina Poultry Federation, Inc. is a Raleigh-based nonprofit trade association founded in 1975 that serves as the state-level representative body for North Carolina's poultry producers and processors — covering the egg, turkey, and chicken segments. Its membership comprises integrated poultry companies operating large-scale processing and growing operations in the state (including Butterball, Wayne-Sanderson Farms, Mountaire Farms, House of Raeford, Perdue Farms, and Case Foods) alongside grower-members and allied-industry participants such as feed, equipment, and veterinary service providers.

The Federation's core products are advocacy and member services. On the advocacy side, it represents industry interests before the North Carolina General Assembly, state agencies (notably the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services), and federal counterparts through coordination with national organizations such as USPOULTRY, the National Turkey Federation, and the American Egg Board. On the services side, it runs an annual meeting, an annual Poultry Field Day co-hosted with NC State University and NCDA&CS, a Hall of Fame induction program, and scholarship and recognition programs for poultry science students. Operationally, the organization maintains a small staff (1-10 employees) led by an Executive Director and a Director of Operations.

Its business model is membership-funded. Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership dues and tiered event sponsorship packages ranging from $500 (Bronze) to $10,000 (President's Circle), with intermediate tiers at $1,000 (Silver), $2,500 (Gold), and $5,000 (Platinum). Additional revenue is derived from event registration fees and ancillary programming. As a 501(c)-style nonprofit trade association, the Federation reinvests operating revenue into member services, advocacy, and recognition programs rather than distributing profit.
