AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION - THE BUSINESS BREED

About the program

The  Fund the Future campaign gives you, the breeder, a unique and flexible opportunity to give back from your own annual production sale, consignment sale, bull sale or online genetic sale. Even animals offered through private treaty are eligible.

Through a donation lot in your sale, you will provide the unrestricted dollars needed to underwrite programs like youth leadership conferences, educational programming, resources for the membership and breed advancement through research projects. You can choose a live animal or a genetic offering. Either option ensures the legacy of the Angus breed lives on through the work of the Angus Foundation.

Fund the Future Logo

A  Fund the Future logo will be provided to place on the designated sale lot to identify this donation along with an explanation. Being part of this campaign provides an advantage in promoting your sale offering and you will receive the following recognition including: 

  • Your farm/ranch name on the Angus Foundation's Website 
  • Your farm/ranch name on the Angus Foundation's Annual Report/Impact Report 
  • Your farm/ranch name in the Angus Journal's Annual Fund the Future Recognition 

It's as simple as one of the following: 

  • Live Animal Lot - 50% of the proceeds of the live animal or pregnancy will be donated to the Angus Foundation's Fund the Future campaign. If you would like to donate a different percentage of the sale lot proceeds, that option is available. 
  • Genetic Lot - 100% of the proceeds of the genetic lot (embryo and semen lots) will be donated to the Angus Foundation's Fund the Future. 
  • Custom Lot - You determine your donation lot and amount to be donated to the Angus Foundation's Fund the Future.

We recommend sharing with others what the Fund the Future logo means:

"A percentage of the proceeds will be going to the Angus Foundation’s Angus Fund to support its mission of advancing Angus programs through education, youth and research. The Angus Foundation is a 501c3."
