Because of their long time horizon, planned gifts are an essential source of future support for Texas A&M. The popularity of planned gifts continues to increase, as these flexible commitments allow individuals to customize their method of giving, receive potential financial benefits and provide for loved ones, all while supporting their passions in Aggieland.

Create Your Own Aggie Tradition!

Did you know that if you are at least 70 ½ years old, you can instruct your IRA custodian to make a distribution of up to $105,000 directly from your IRA to the Texas A&M Foundation to support your Aggie passions? Starting this year, consider using an IRA qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to begin your giving tradition and reduce your taxable income.
