 | | Clyde Sharp | By encouraging, facilitating and conducting cotton research and education, The Cotton Foundation is helping the National Cotton Council carry out its mission of providing U.S. cotton industry members a world marketplace advantage.
Cotton Foundation membership remains solid with 68 members as of July 1, 2007, the beginning of the 2007-08 Foundation fiscal year. These member firms' dues ($379,746) are going entirely in support of 25 general research and education projects approved by the Foundation’s Research Screening Committee. Investments and Washington building rental income also provided a small portion of the funding for these projects. In addition, five other general projects are being funded from 2006-07 contingency funds and miscellaneous contributions ($54,800). (read more) |
