1 | Lead by Example | Annual Report
A YEAR TO CELEBRATEAt Texas A&M University, we are lucky to have dedicated former students and friends who are committed to ensuring the success of our institution through philanthropy. Our Texas A&M Foundation team is so proud of our mission and works tirelessly to meet the demands of the university.
Despite market volatility and a difficult few years in the oil and gas sectors, the Foundation provided $90.8 million to the university in fiscal year 2017. The stewardship of your gifts is our greatest responsibility, and we applaud your generosity.
As we continue the Lead by Example campaign—the most ambitious fundraising campaign our university has ever undertaken and the largest ever in the state of Texas—we are thankful for your personal commitment to Texas A&M’s success. With the help of our friends and investors, we have surpassed the $2.79 billion mark in this momentous effort to raise $4 billion by 2020.
Several principal gifts from devoted supporters advanced our progress: A $20 million commitment from Jon Hagler ’58 named the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study, further elevating the university’s academic prestige, while key gifts totaling more than $35 million from the Mays Family Foundation, the McFerrin family and the Charles Koch Foundation will bolster entrepreneurial programming at Mays Business School.
Our Office of Gift Planning also experienced a tremendous year, raising 146 planned gifts for a total of $120.3 million. Planned gifts are crucial to Texas A&M’s future because they represent a promise of continued support for years to come. Over the past 18 years, the Foundation has been notified of more than $1.134 billion in expected planned gifts that have been created to benefit Texas A&M.
Finally, we are proud to celebrate our endowment performance. Thanks to our investment policies, best-in-class staff, exceptional governance and our dedicated Board of Trustees, the Foundation’s portfolio has achieved an average 7.7 percent annual rate of return over a 15-year period. We pride ourselves on our stewardship of the hard-earned money you entrust us with so that your gifts will have the most profound impact possible in perpetuity through the endowment.
As we look to 2018, we’d like to thank you again for your extraordinary support. We remind you that all gifts are significant, regardless of size, and we challenge you to find a better return on your philanthropic dollar than Texas A&M. With your support, we are leading by example and ensuring that Texas A&M continues to be a leader among institutions of higher education.
T. Randall Cain ’82Chairman of the Board
Tyson Voelkel ’96President

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
By investing assets, the Foundation aims to preserve the purchasing power of gifts in perpetuity while providing steady earnings for Texas A&M. Each of the more than 7,400 individual endowment accounts are managed in the Foundation’s long-term investment pool, which has a total value of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2017.
Endowed gifts are powerful given their long-term financial impact. Due to their perpetual nature, funds must be invested in a manner in which we can expect to earn a long-term rate of return to support current and future educational programs and meet the funding requirements of the Foundation and the university.
It is our view that diversification is the single most important component to help us achieve our return goals. The Foundation’s portfolio is biased toward equity investments and bond markets to better benefit from long-term growth expectations. In general, we seek to partner with talented investment managers that possess a competitive advantage, a differentiated strategy and interests that align with ours. Our portfolio is well-diversified by asset class, industry and geography.
Over the last fifteen years, the Foundation has achieved an average annual return of 7.7 percent on its long-term investment pool.

The Lead By Example Campaign
Lead by Example is Texas A&M’s $4 billion comprehensive campaign, one of the boldest initiatives in the history of public higher education and the largest fundraising endeavor ever undertaken in Texas. This campaign encompasses all private gifts benefiting Texas A&M, including gifts from individuals, foundations and corporations through the Texas A&M Foundation, The Association of Former Students, the 12th Man Foundation and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
Support raised through the campaign will empower Texas A&M to continue to be recognized as a world-class, top-tier public research institution and provide students with access to an affordable education with the best faculty.

Contributions from students, friends, and private and family foundations
Contributions from corporations and other organizations
Where the $183.1 Million Came From
Contributions from former students, friends, and private and family foundations (many formed by former students) make up 67 percent of gifts to the Foundation, while gifts from corporations and other organizations make up 33 percent of the total.
How the $183.1 Million Was Directed
Each Foundation gift is linked to an “impact area.” Student impact represents scholarships and fellowships to undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty-impact gifts fund chairs, professorships and fellowships. College impact gifts help a college or department through discretionary or building funds, which in turn support faculty and students through improved teaching and learning environments. Spirit-impact gifts cultivate student organizations, traditions and other outside-the-classroom programs.
A $20 million gift from Jon L. Hagler ’58 to name the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study ensures that Texas A&M will attract some of the world’s best and brightest scholars.

Foundation Funds Made Available to Texas A&M
The Foundation annually makes millions of dollars available to Texas A&M for students, faculty, facilities and programs according to donors’ wishes. In fiscal year 2017, these funds totaled $90.8 million. These funds consist of non-endowed gifts—funds made available to disburse immediately rather than invested by the Foundation—and income from endowments.
Long-Term Investment Pool Asset Allocation
By investing assets, the Foundation preserves the purchasing power of gifts while providing steady earnings for Texas A&M. The Foundation’s long-term investment pool, which has a total value of $1.6 billion, is composed mostly of endowments, but also includes other non-endowed funds invested for the long term.

Policy Benchmark
Prior to 2015, the long-term investment pool (LTIP) was benchmarked against a passive index comprised of a global equity index and a domestic bond index (75% MSCI ACWI/25% Barclays U.S. Bond Aggregate Index). In 2015, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees implemented a new policy benchmark that better reflects the target asset allocation of the LTIP. Our custodian bank was able to backtest the new policy benchmark for returns prior to 2015, but only back to 2012. As such, we are not able to produce a 10 and 15-year return for the new policy benchmark. We are still able to report the old 75/25 benchmark for all periods shown here.

The Foundation’s Office of Gift Planning helps donors establish after-lifetime and dual-benefit gifts that will aid Texas A&M University and its students in the future. For fiscal year 2017, the Foundation documented planned gifts valued at $120.3 million, ranging from $10,000 to $8 million in size. The chart below, which illustrates gift expectancies documented by the Foundation in the last 10 years, represents a total of $851.8 million.

Planned Giving by the Numbers
GIVE NOW FOR LATER
*Excludes contingent gifts
What are the types and benefits of planned gifts?
After-lifetime gifts—such as bequests and gifts from retirement or life insurance accounts—can be given without reducing your assets during your lifetime.
On the other hand, gifts such as charitable trusts and charitable gift annuities include an immediate charitable income tax deduction. Donors may also avoid capital gains taxes and receive regular payments.
Other supporters use a method we call the “Give It Twice Trust,” in which the donor holds, invests and uses their assets during their lifetime. After their lifetime, their will or revocable living trust details
the formation and funding of a charitable remainder unitrust, which pays out to the designated beneficiaries for a term of years. At the termination of the trust, the remaining assets move to an endowment that pays out annually to Texas A&M.
Why should Texas A&M former students and friends consider making a planned gift?
Giving can be a wonderful experience for the donor; it is just a matter of deciding how much to give, who to give to and what type of gift. Every individual’s gift is uniquely customized and reflects their values and hopes for Texas A&M. Some give to preserve certain traditions, while
others give to support research, facilities, students, faculty or programs.
How have planned gifts impacted Texas A&M?
In the past 12 years, more than $195 million in planned gifts have matured. These gifts have been received by the Texas A&M Foundation and are currently benefiting Texas A&M.
But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Over the past 18 years, the Foundation has been notified of more than $1.134 billion in expected planned gifts that have been created to support Texas A&M’s future.
