THE 12TH AG GIVING CIRCLE

THE 12TH AG GIVING CIRCLE

Support Nonprofits Making a Difference

The 12th AG is a giving circle of monthly donors that come together to create a community that is equitable, just, and inclusive by issuing grants to organizations that work to give back to the community.

The 12th AG was founded in 2023 by a group of Aggies who longed to create their vision of an inclusive community by building relationships and investing in equitable opportunities for generations to come. This community is committed to championing positive change with their dollars, votes, and time.

Aggie History

The "12th Man"

The tradition of the 12th Man at Texas A&M was born at the end of the 1921 football season. A sophomore named E. King Gill was attending a Dixie Classic game in his hometown.

In the first half, the Aggies were destroyed by injuries. A&M coach Dana X. Bible waved Gill down to the sideline and said, “It doesn’t look like I’m going to have enough players to finish the game. You may have to go in there…”

So Gill put on a uniform and returned to the sideline, ready to aid the Aggies if needed. He was on the bench for the rest of the game, but never went in. 

Though Gill didn’t actually step on the field that day, his eagerness to help his fellow students became one of the most widely recognized traditions in college football.

“I wish I could say that I went in and ran for the winning touchdown,” he told the Post. “But I did not. I simply stood by in case my team needed me.”

Every Donor Has Flexibility in How They Give

Legacy Collective offers the convenience of giving online with a credit card through the links below thanks to our partners at Pure Charity. You can also establish monthly ACH payments through the links below on the 1st and 15th of each month. You have the option during enrollment of covering the 5% processing fee through Pure Charity.

You are also able to give directly to Legacy Collective and save the 5% processing fee so that those funds can be used towards grants given to our nonprofit partners. If you are interested in paying with a check, setting up monthly bill pay, a monthly ACH on a different time of the month, or wiring funds, please email 12thag@legacycollective.org so that we can share our banking information with you.
