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!
Fraternally,
