The POWER of One…
…to make a difference has been well documented since the beginning of time. Few
in the livestock industry would argue the success of the Angus breed and the contribution
that has been made through the Angus influence on the beef industry. With success
comes power - with power comes responsibility.
The Angus Foundation's responsibility and challenge is to harness the collective
power of one to provide a reliable funding source for Angus education, youth and
research programs. Through an expanding pool of annual fund dollars, powerful
visionary initiatives today and in the future can be achieved benefiting Angus
leaders of tomorrow and the beef industry.
The Angus Foundation's Annual Fund was established as a method to secure a pool
of flexible dollars to fund education, youth and research programs with the
greatest needs as determined annually by the Angus Foundation's Board of
Directors. The Annual Fund will provide all Angus breeders, friends and allied
industry partners the opportunity to support the Angus Foundation on a
consistent annual basis and be recognized yearly for their generosity.
The Power of One epitomizes the vision of the Angus Foundation's Annual
Fund and your gift will help the Foundation achieve even greater levels of
excellence!
Funds received through the Annual Fund, for example, will support:
- Education of Angus breeders of all ages on
science-based technologies through interactive forums
- Scholarships for Angus youth to pursue their higher educational dreams
- Research projects, like bovine genome mapping and single nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP) marker identification benefiting both the beef industry and Angus breeders
- Enhancement of "Angus Leadership Camp" and "Cattlemen's Boot Camp"
- Increase support of NJAA activities such as Leaders Engaged in Angus Development
