The Canadian Angus Foundation is committed to fulfilling their mission statement and are currently supporting initiatives in Canadian Angus research, working on a living history project to bring our archives to life and developing educational programming. Support of scholarships and awards for young breeders and junior members is ongoing.
Help Support the Canadian Angus Foundation
There are various ways that you can support the Foundation. It is with your help and care that the Foundation is able to offer different programs to Canadian Angus Association members from coast to coast, both breeders and supporters of the Canadian Angus cause who donate and purchase in support of our Foundation and our national youth.
You can support the Canadian Angus Foundation throughout the year through donations to scholarships and awards such as the Outstanding Young Angus Breeder and the Robert C. McHaffie Junior Ambassador (and others), as well as travel bursaries and junior shows. This support also includes providing junior and young breeders the opportunity to learn and grow in areas of leadership, marketing, technology, and Angus production as well as opportunities for non-livestock youth to learn about our industry. Funding is also provided to assist with speakers and events targeted at member education. Contact the Foundation to find out more information on the area you are interested in supporting or click the Donate Now button at the top of this page to donate today!
