Notes and Disclaimer: In addition to the donors listed, the American Angus Association® also supported the Foundation in the amount of $300,000 to endow fundraising activities and support educational conferences and youth events.

Lifetime giving and fiscal year giving donor recognition levels include contributions from cash and gift-in-kind donations. Items donated and sold at auctions are included at the cash sales value for both the donor and the buyer. If an item is sold in conjunction with other in-kind donations, the gift value of an individual item is established at its estimated retail value.

Donor recognition is not a validation of amount claimed by donor for income tax charitable deduction purposes. Merchandise purchases are not recognized in the donor recognition program. Sponsorships are recognized at the marketed level.

We appreciate your generous support of the Angus Foundation, and we want to recognize you accordingly with 100% accuracy. If we have made an error, please contact the Angus Foundation at 816-383-5100.
