Angus Foundation Launches New Website

The newly designed website includes more multimedia features while showcasing how the Angus Foundation uses funds to support youth, education and research.

Donors who financially support the Angus Foundation make dreams a reality for many who have interest in the Angus breed. The Angus Foundation is excited to announce that many of these donors, along with those who have benefited from Angus Foundation support, are the focus of the Angus Foundation’s newly designed website officially launched on Sept. 24, 2012.

The new website features a fresh look and more multimedia presence, which includes stories, photos and videos that show how the Angus Foundation is using funds to support youth in their ambitions to attend college, purebred Angus and commercial breeders with educational opportunities, and research for the betterment of Angus cattle.

In addition to allowing for more stories about donors at all giving levels and the youth, education, and research programs they support, the new website’s home page also features current projects and different ways to contribute to the Angus Foundation.

“Enhancement of the Angus Foundation’s website with additional visual features, ease of navigation and overall increased user-friendliness will further heighten the educational value and experience for our visitors to the website,” says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “This communications platform enables us to inform our supporters of the impact their gifts are making in the lives of our Angus youth, adult members, and will provide up-to-date information on the many research initiatives funded by our organization for the benefit of the Angus breed.”

Log on to www.angusfoundation.org to view the new website. Once on the home page, visitors who have used the former website will notice that the location of much of the content and navigation is very similar, so it is not hard to find information.

The Angus Foundation was established in 1980 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization to support Angus education, youth and research. To learn more about the Angus Foundation and the programs it supports, call 816-383-5100 or go to www.angusfoundation.org.
