They have reported giving in at least a couple presentations in the last few years. You probably received the information in face-to-face meetings, those that are not in AAF chapters receive zero information from them. I think I saved the last presentation. Will look for it tonight. |

Has the University or AAF put together any metrics on how the "Aggie Club" compares to the Seahawk Club or similar fundraising entities in the CAA. I seem to remember how the AAF stacks up against other HBCU boosters, abut like many things, that's irrelevant now. If we wanna compete with UNCW and the like we need to put ourselves in position to do similar things. AAF doesnt even send out information regarding how much money is raised... I have a presentation from the BOT Advancement & External Affairs Committee dated 4/14/2023 that has AAF info. Revenue: - 2019 - $1,316,740 - 2020 - $1,164,435 - 2021 - $1,320,429 - 2022 - $2,350,367 Donors: - 2019 - 1,243 - 2020 - 909 - 2021 - 987 - 2022 - 1,131 Haven't seen or heard anything about 2023. |

This is arguably the closest FBS conference to us in terms of spending (still a bit off, but still...)

I like seeing info like this. This shows where we need to be and exceed. I hope we get to the point of having multiple folks on staff to help raise money for Aggie Athletics. Have you ever called the AAF office, left a voice message (never had anyone actually answer the phone) and gotten a call back? If you want to increase donations, the staff has got to be more responsive. The only time I see the AAF staff is when they take a big check on the field during the game. I guess $1200 annual donation isn't large enough to justify a callback. If the AAF wants to raise more money they will have to connect with more alumni... not just the major donors. |

Thanks Westcoast, If this is what they have raised over a 5 year period it puts a lot of things into perspective. We're over $6.1 million over a 4 year period based on the data shared by '39. I do want to see data from our CAA Peers to see where we line up. |

I have called and email and voiced my frustration for stuff like everyone else. I also have reached out to others to see how to move stuff forward. I also have the time for it at the moment. I will fight for us to be better and continue to voice my concerns. |
