The Belted Galloway Foundation, Inc. (“The Foundation”) is a non-profit corporation created to engage in educational and scientific activities dedicated to the improvement of Belted Galloway cattle breed production and marketing practices, and encouraging youth involvement in beef production.
      The seven-member Foundation Board of Directors consists of the four most recent past presidents of the Belted Galloway Society plus the current chairs of the Society’s Long-Range Planning, Chatfield Scholarship Fund and Fundraising Committees.
      The Foundation is a separate, autonomous corporation that is entirely supported by fundraising. Those who donate money or articles of value to support the Foundation and its programs enjoy the same tax benefits afforded those persons who donate to any charitable organization.
      The Foundation currently maintains three separate funds: General Fund, Beltie Youth Group Fund, and the Chatfield Scholarship Fund. Donors to the Foundation can stipulate which fund they would like their donation to benefit. Those who wish to obtain funding for a particular educational or scientific project may contact the Foundation Secretary to request an application.

Belted Galloway Breeders Manual
In order to provide Belted Galloway breeders with pertinent information regarding the care and breeding of their cattle, the Foundation publishes the Belted Galloway Breeders Manual. This publication is provided free of charge to all Belted Galloway breeders, and is intended to be a useful resource for all those who are interested in beef production and, specifically, the Belted Galloway breed.

A.H. Chatfield, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund 
This fund was established shortly after the Aldermere Farm founder’s death in 1999. The purpose was to establish an annual scholarship in his memory available to a member of the Beltie Youth Group or to any other deserving student interested in pursuing a career related to beef production. Students interested in applying for the A.H. Chatfield, Jr. scholarship award may request a form from the Society’s office.

Beltie Youth Group (BYG)
Supported by the members of the Belted Galloway Society through generous contributions to the Foundation and other fundraisers, the Beltie Youth Group is involved with youngsters from every region of the country. The primary purposes of the BYG are to encourage youth involvement in the care and breeding of Belted Galloway cattle, and to provide educational and logistical services to support their activities. The BYG maintains a web site at <www.beltieyouthgroup.com> which provides a central source for current information regarding BYG activities.
