Four billion reasons to believe in tomorrow.

Whoop! The Aggie community successfully surpassed the landmark $4 billion Lead by Example campaign goal by contributing $4.25 billion. As the largest higher education fundraising campaign by a public university in Texas and one of the largest nationally, the achievement of this historic effort signals a bright future for Aggieland’s students, faculty and staff. We thank you!

The campaign began on Jan. 1, 2012 and continued through Dec. 31, 2020. A joint fundraising effort between Texas A&M’s fundraising partners, the $4.25 billion total encompasses all private gifts benefiting the university,including gifts from individuals, foundations and corporations through the Texas A&M Foundation, The Association of Former Students, the 12th Man Foundation, the George & Barbara Bush Foundation, and the Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association.

The Association of Former Students

The Association of Former Students hopes to close out the campaign by engaging 100,000 donors in 2020 alone. In supporting The Association through gifts of any amount, every Aggie has the opportunity to make a difference for Texas A&M. Your gift helps fund student activities, traditions, scholarships, faculty enrichment, former student services and many other critical projects.

Texas A&M Foundation

The Texas A&M Foundation solicits endowed gifts from donors who decide the specific areas at the university they want to fund. Your gift can help recruit and retain talented faculty, fund and create scholarships, advance capital construction, or support a specific Texas A&M college, department or unit. You can also give directed gifts of $25 or more online to support your passion at Texas A&M.

12th Man Foundation

As the primary funding source for Aggie Athletics, the 12th Man Foundation’s mission is to fund scholarships, programs and facilities in support of championship athletics. Give now to help fund Texas A&M athletics, which are completely self-supporting and cannot receive state money or public tax dollars.

George & Barbara Bush Foundation

The George & Barbara Bush Foundation is dedicated to preserving the historic legacies of service best exemplified by President and Mrs. Bush by supporting the education and service-oriented programs at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and The Bush School of Government and Public Service.

Gift Impact

In 2015, Texas A&M University’s fundraising partners publicly announced the Lead by Example campaign—an ambitious and historic initiative to raise $4 billion for Texas A&M by the end of 2020.

A truly collective effort, gifts ranging in size from a few dollars to the multimillions were contributed from first-time donors and longtime friends. These individuals included not only former students, but also those drawn to Aggieland for its values, culture and academic strengths. We want to give an Aggie-sized thank you to everyone who contributed, not only for their investment in Aggieland, but also for the high standard of generosity they have set.

Gift Impact

A university leading the way for the world.

Campus Achievements

The success of the Lead by Example campaign will create lasting impact and positive ripple effects felt not only across Texas A&M, but also across the state, nation and world as Aggies venture out to serve mankind.

To celebrate the campaign’s impact, we collected major achievements from colleges and divisions across campus that occurred within the campaign timeframe. Collectively, these accomplishments speak to what Aggie students, faculty and staff can do when empowered by generous philanthropy.
