Giving to the Department of Agricultural Economics
Since 1922, the Department of Agricultural Economics has evolved to advance agriculture in the state, address new challenges across disciplines and create solutions for the world’s most complex issues through teaching, research, Extension and service. We’re working to restore connections among people, agriculture, food, science and the economy and train the next generation of business leaders, entrepreneurs, economists and visionaries.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors and friends. Discover how you can help advance excellence at Texas A&M University and make a difference in the lives of our students and faculty.
Ways to Give
There are numerous ways to give through the Texas A&M Foundation that allow you to direct your gift for a specific purpose at Texas A&M University. You can support students, faculty, college programs or student activities with an endowed gift that will provide permanent support, or you can make a non-endowed gift to be used more immediately for a designated purpose.
