FARMHOUSE FRATERNITY Nebraska Chapter / University of Nebraska-Lincoln www.nebraskafarmhouse.org Summer 2017 Construction Is Underway! W hat a remarkable year it has been for FarmHouse at Nebraska! This spring we celebrated the groundbreaking, and demolition officially began on June 21. Additionally, in 2017 alone we've received $194,531 in new pledges and gifts to The Next Hundred Years of Building Men campaign. What an impressive showing from our generous alumni to stretch their giving and help offset the rising construction costs we're faced with. Thank you! To update you on the progress of our capital campaign, we have raised $3,956,947 and have just $43,053 to go to reach the $4 million mark. It is within reach! That will put us over the last hump to get to $4.5 million. More than 500 alumni, friends, parents, and active members have made pledges to the campaign. We are thrilled with the level of support we have received. Are you among the 500? If not, be sure you join the campaign and show future generations that you were a part of this exciting venture! Today is the day. This is the day that you can make a pledge to Nebraska FarmHouse. Be a part of this historic initiative. A pledge of $5,000 or more can secure your name on our donor recognition wall to be prominently displayed once the capital campaign has come to a close and the house is complete. That is just $1,000 per year for five years, or less than $84 per month. A great benefit with this campaign is your gift will go toward the FarmHouse Foundation and is tax deductible. Also, if your employer offers matching gifts be sure to utilize that opportunity as it can increase the amount you're able to give—oftentimes doubling the amount! Please use the enclosed pledge form and envelope to make your pledge. We do understand that not all alumni are able to pledge $5,000. Whatever the amount you are able to pledge we will gladly and graciously accept. If you have already given, we humbly ask if you can give again by extending your pledge by one year or making an additional contribution. The best part about doing this campaign together is many hands make light work. Together we can get over that $4 million mark and will be on our way to $4.5 million!
