Be a part of the FH Month of Giving: 120 Years of Building Men
Frequently Asked Questions
The FH Month of Giving is an opportunity for brothers and friends to celebrate FarmHouse’s impact on its members and inspire pride in our Fraternity, while encouraging healthy competition between chapters, all to the benefit of FarmHouse.
All gifts made during the month of April count towards the FH Month of Giving, and provide unrestricted support for the FH Excellence Fund, which supports the Fraternity’s educational priorities, including recruitment, volunteer training, values-based education programming and its focus on growth and membership experience.
Last FH Month of Giving, donors gave over $350,000 to the FH Excellence Fund. This year, our goal is to have 1,200 gifts during the FH Month of Giving who collectively give $400,000, bringing us closer to our annual goal of $850,000 for the FH Excellence Fund. The cumulative effect of donor support is an impact of $475 per student!
Gifts made during the FH Month of Giving are special in a few ways. First, they’ll be posted in near real-time on our FH Month of Giving platform where they’ll help your chapter advance on the leaderboards. They’ll also help unlock special Challenge Gifts throughout the month, meaning your participation stands to make a bigger impact than any other month of the year!

Excellence. The last letter of the FARMHOUSE acronym and the place we need to start, together.
This is a crucial time for the Fraternity and a collaborative approach is required for our shared challenges. That is why the FarmHouse Foundation partners with the International Fraternity to address the tough environment on college campuses today by raising unrestricted financial resources to fully-fund grants and shared services for the Fraternity this fiscal year and into the future. Your unrestricted support makes this possible through the FarmHouse Excellence Fund.
Your investment in the FarmHouse Excellence Fund helps bridge the gap between the services the Fraternity provides through membership dues and the rising costs of values-based education and leadership experiences.
Contributions to the FarmHouse Excellence Fund also support local volunteers, alumni engagement, a leading headquarters staff, operations and administration of the FarmHouse Foundation, as well as build an endowment for future and emerging needs. Most importantly, your philanthropy transforms the future—of FarmHouse, all fraternities and the leaders our world so desperately needs.
Your Faith in your Fraternity and your unrestricted support will ensure Excellence in FarmHouse continues for the next generation.
Your donation to the FarmHouse Excellence Fund will help support FarmHouse men for years to come. Your gift today will immediately enable the Fraternity to…
- provide in-person and virtual learning opportunities;
- create and offer values-based and chapter specific educational programs;
- conduct the annual Dyad student research assessment;
- host leadership conferences such as the FarmHouse Leadership Institute, the Emerging Talent Retreat and Conclave for hands-on training and personal development;
- educate student members through risk management education;
- enable the Fraternity staff to work directly with each chapter and association;
- and, ultimately, help ensure the positive FarmHouse experience continues on.
Yes! The FarmHouse Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so gifts made any time throughout the year are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For gifts made on the FH Month of Giving platform, you will receive an email thank you letter with a tax receipt.
FarmHouse Foundation’s Tax ID: #36-6111880
Yes! After you make your FH Month of Giving gift, you will immediately receive a confirmation email that includes a formal thank you as well as your tax information you can use for tax purposes as allowed by the U.S. law. For gifts mailed to the Foundation, we will promptly mail you a thank you letter.
While we know all donors give out of their love for FarmHouse, we recognize a prize sounds nice, too, and maybe bragging rights as the winner. In 2025, chapter’s will be divided into two groups: those with 500 living members and those with less. Division winners for most total donors and dollars raised will receive a catered brotherhood event complete with FREE food prepared by professional chefs, courtesy of FH Month of Giving sponsors Greek House Chefs.
A challenge is when a donor offers to give a certain amount if we are able to either raise a certain amount or meet a certain number of donors. A match is when a donor agrees to match dollar-for-dollar gifts made by other donors.
All gifts made will count towards any available challenge or match. If there are multiple challenges available, the gift may count towards two challenges. For example, if a donor from Iowa State made a gift on April 1, that gift would count towards the Iowa State Match, the Kick-Off Challenge, as well as the Greek House Chefs Challenge.
Your support is greatly appreciated! However, FH Month of Giving participation is limited to gifts to the FH Excellence Fund made April 1-30 (or earmarked ahead of time specifically for the occasion). Chapters who join the Ruby Society before or during the FH Month of Giving will be included in the Month as donors.
The FH Month of Giving is an almost entirely digital effort – that means we need your help! Please consider reaching out to brothers and family to share your gift and encourage them to join you – you can even set up your own challenge on the platform!
We also invite you to follow FarmHouse on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Stay engaged and involved by sharing FarmHouse’s posts on these social media platforms and by making your own.
The FH Month of Giving is a time for all FH members to connect, engage and celebrate one another. Here are some ways you can get involved:
- Serve as a Helping Hand and share about this exciting day and encourage all of your followers and supporters to give.
- Join the Ruby Society, the undergraduate giving program with a gift of $10 or more.
- Give a one-time gift during the FH Month of Giving.
