The Foundation has previously supported projects through its 2025 and 2026 funding rounds. Details of earlier projects are available on its official website, providing prospective applicants with examples of the types of initiatives that have received support. Applicants are encouraged to review these previous projects before preparing their proposals. Understanding the Foundation’s earlier funding activities can help applicants assess whether their ideas align with its objectives and industry focus. Areas of Interest The 2027 call focuses on innovation and development within two principal industries: animal feed and flour milling. Potentially relevant proposals may involve research, improved production processes, technological innovation, operational efficiency or other developments that address challenges in these sectors. However, applicants should consult the Foundation’s official funding criteria to confirm which project types and activities qualify. Researchers and organisations with practical, evidence-based ideas are encouraged to explain how their proposed projects could contribute to industry advancement. Eligible commercial companies may also apply, provided their proposals meet the Foundation’s requirements. The Foundation’s previous projects can offer useful guidance when identifying a suitable project concept and demonstrating its potential value. Eligibility Requirements The Foundation identifies researchers, organisations, innovators and eligible commercial companies as potential applicants. All proposals must relate to the development of the animal feed or flour milling industries and satisfy the Foundation’s funding criteria. The published announcement does not provide a complete list of eligibility conditions, eligible countries, minimum or maximum grant amounts, or detailed assessment criteria. Prospective applicants should therefore review the official criteria and funding request information before submitting an application. Applicants should prepare a clear project description that explains the problem being addressed, the proposed innovation, expected outcomes and relevance to the targeted industries. Funding Amount and Financial Conditions The VICTAM Foundation does not specify a standard funding amount in the published call. The amount awarded will depend on the Foundation’s decision regarding each successful proposal. The board will determine funding outcomes within three months after the application deadline. Applicants will be informed whether their proposals have been approved and the amount of the financial gift awarded. An important financial condition is that the awarded gift includes value-added tax (VAT). The recipient is responsible for paying VAT and any other applicable taxes. Applicants should factor these obligations into their project budgets and financial planning. There are no fees associated with submitting a funding request. Application Timeline The 2027 funding process follows several stages: 21 September–31 December 2026: Application submission period. 1 January–15 February 2027: Eligibility review and pre-selection of proposals. 15 February–15 March 2027: Final project selection by the evaluation committee, with companies informed of funding decisions. By 15 September 2027: Selected projects are scheduled to be presented at VICTAM LatAm 2027 in São Paulo, Brazil. The Foundation indicates that the board will decide within three months after the submission deadline. Applicants should monitor official communications for updates concerning their proposals. How to Apply Interested applicants must submit their projects through the Foundation’s online funding request form. Additional information may be requested when necessary.
