Why I Give to The FarmHouse Foundation
A gift to the FarmHouse Foundation is truly an investment in the future of the Fraternity. We proudly support the exciting and valuable programs of the Fraternity. We are "Building the Leaders of Tomorrow", but don’t take our word for it...
"We are making this gift to pay forward to an organization that has impacted our lives. FarmHouse was an important part of my college heritage. With this gift, we want to recognize and reward outstanding academics in FarmHouse and help ensure the Fraternity’s rich tradition of academic excellence continues in the future." |
|
"Our experience in FarmHouse (my wife, Gen was with me most of those years) meant so much to us we must include it when we pass on." |
|
"I believe strongly in helping give young people an opportunity that they might not otherwise have and I believe strongly in giving students incentives to achieve all they are capable of doing. The FarmHouse Foundation offers a good vehicle to achieve these objectives." |
|
"We contribute because we believe that FarmHouse changes the course of men's lives. Without the International Fraternity and the Foundation to support it, we believe that individual chapters would cease to exist. Furthermore, the leadership training may be the best, if not the only, training that undergraduates receive prior to entering the workplace. It is important to equip FarmHouse men to excel after graduation." |
|
"FarmHouse has opened so many doors for me and given me the opportunity to work with wonderful people." |
|
"Even in today's economy, you can count on my continued contribution to FarmHouse. I know that tomorrow will need men with the type of skills that FarmHouse develops." David Anderson (NE '89) |

Enduring Acts of Generosity "The Lembcke’s planned gift…will be a lasting legacy of their generous gifts of their time, talent and treasure across the years!" |
|
"We are so proud of who you have become. We felt it was important to help someone else in a small way to experience some of what has made you the man you are through FarmHouse." Parents of Pieter Serne (MI ’04) |
|
"We can truly find the strength of our fraternity and our inspiration for giving in the motto: builders of men. And to build men, it is often necessary to give; give of our time, talents and our treasures. By donating as undergraduates, we give up something, but we also ensure that many men will gain something in the process. We can never know how much impact our donation will have. The possibilities are endless." Andy Gigstad (KS ’07) |
|
"We are pleased and impressed with our son’s involvement with FarmHouse. We can see many benefits. Keep on building men with character and virtue!" Parents of Adam Hoffert (ND ’07) |
|
"I gave because FarmHouse has given so much to me." "I know my donation is a positive investment in all of my brothers across North America." "I hope that my gift will give other men a chance to experience the same great brotherhood that I have." Undergraduate Ruby Society Donors |
|
"I appreciate the opportunities you have provided for my son – thanks!" Parents of Taylor Bonzer (WA ’08) |
|
"The financial assistance the Foundation provided to help get me through college was significant. Thank you for all of the work you do to make that happen." Mark Jirik (ND '95) |

A few of the 1,300 reasons to give to the FarmHouse Foundation…
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful donation to the Leadership Academy. It’s because of you that my role as president of my chapter got started off on the right foot! Not only did I benefit from the plethora of information on risk management, recruitment and discussions with other chapters, but I know that our other officers did as well. With your help, hopefully my chapter will be better in 2010 than it ever has been before." Bryant Burkett (PU '09)
Wyoming Chartering January 2010
"I am thankful for FarmHouse because it places me with men who challenge my character in a positive way and through accountability demand me to grow in the aspects of our fraternity. I learn so much from the other men, but I also realize that I have an impact on them as well, and this helps guide my own thoughts and actions. A dynamic relationship such as this is truly a blessing to experience." Andrew Harris (KS '07)
Tarleton State Colonization February 2010
"Only through the FarmHouse Leadership Academy can one see the true scope of being a successful FarmHouse chapter. The best ideas come not from yourself, not from your chapter’s brothers, but from the Fraternity as a whole. I now have the skills and mindset to lead my chapter to be successful." Ben Elliott (MN '09)
"FarmHouse because has made me a better man. My brothers have very high moral character which has helped me grow and become a better person. They are constantly striving to better themselves everyday, which has encouraged me to do the same. I believe that FarmHouse, more than anything, creates an environment that fosters growth academically, physically, socially, and spiritually. The community of people I live with has given me a home away from home, which I didn't think I would find in college." Kellen Begnoche (KS '07)
"The Leadership Academy helped me put the gas back on the FarmHouse flame inside me—I now have passion and desire for not only my chapter’s success, but for the continuation and improvement of FarmHouse as an International Fraternity. I am motivated by and grateful for this incredible opportunity." Levi DeSutter (IL ’08)
"I want to thank you on behalf of the brothers in the Auburn chapter that were able to attend the RLC this past weekend. It was a great way to learn valuable leadership qualities and fellowship with brothers from across the region." Jim Trucks (AU '08)
"I believe in FarmHouse with every fiber of my being and if I can help advance it in any way, I will choose to do so." Texas Tech undergraduate on donating to the Ruby Society for undergraduates
