About the Campaign

In celebration of George Grant bringing the first Angus bulls from Scotland to America 150 years ago, the Angus Foundation established a unique giving program called A Legacy Sustaining. To leave a legacy means to pass something on. This giving program encourages American Angus Association members to donate $150 each year in a collective effort to build long-term, sustaining support for the breed over the next 150 years.

Contributions to A Legacy Sustaining support the Angus Fund, a reserve that holds unrestricted donations to help the Foundation fulfill its mission. Your gift of $12.50 every month (or $150 every year) plays a crucial role in sustaining and expanding the Foundations initiatives, including education, research and youth leadership programming through events like LEAD Conference and Beef Leaders Institute.

Did someone introduce you, encourage and mentor you, or influence your success within the Angus breed? Are you seeking a way to honor a family member, friend, breeder, neighbor or teacher who helped make your Angus dream a reality? Extend their impact by paying it forward for the next generation of Angus breeders through an annual gift to A Legacy Sustaining.
