Partner with CIFST: Empowering Food Science for a Brighter Future

At the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST), we’re passionate about raising awareness of food science and technology and championing the professionals who drive innovation in the industry. Throughout the year, we work hand-in-hand with our dedicated members, volunteers, and stakeholders to launch impactful initiatives that showcase the importance of food science. This effort requires significant investment, and your support can help us make an even greater difference.

Why Your Support Matters

CIFST is one united association, but we operate on both a national and regional level. The National office provides essential support that enables our regional sections to host local events, from table-top exhibits to golf tournaments. However, contrary to what many believe, CIFST National does not financially benefit from these local activities. We operate with a lean budget, funded primarily through membership fees, to deliver high-impact, national programs.

In 2024, we’ve achieved incredible things despite our limited resources. Our creativity and efficiency have allowed us to make a significant impact, but to continue advancing the field of food science, we need the help of partners like you.

A Partnership That Works For You

To help us grow and continue to serve the food science community, we’ve created the CIFST Annual Corporate Sponsorship Program. This program not only supports our initiatives but also delivers meaningful value to our sponsor partners. By investing in CIFST, you’re not just supporting our work—you’re contributing to the future of the food science profession.
