Leading
the Charge

Angelo State is charging towards its centennial birthday in 2028. Remaining resilient and relevant as we mark this major milestone gives us the opportunity to grow and make an impact on the future of Angelo State.

The Leading the Charge campaign is an organized fundraising effort with a goal to raise $128 million by Angelo State’s centennial celebration. We will leverage investments from our alumni, friends and partners to raise the prominence of Angelo State as an innovative leader in driving educational, cultural and economic initiatives to meet the needs, face the challenges and grasp the opportunities for our region, our state and the global community.

Identifying campaign priorities was the result of nearly three years of collaboration between university leaders.

The Leading the Charge campaign will run through 2028, Angelo State’s centennial birthday.

To ensure the highest possible gift and campaign integrity, all charitable contributions made to Angelo State will be counted and recorded using the standards set forth by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Any exception to CASE standards must be approved by the vice president for external affairs. 

Anyone and everyone! We welcome gifts of support from far and wide, including alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, and faculty and staff. Every gift is important and can make an impact on our university. In measuring success, we count gifts, pledges, estate gifts and in-kind contributions from nearly all sources during the campaign. A gift of any amount will help us reach our goal of $128 million.
