2014 ‐15 Annual Report
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
accomplishment by our talented Foundation team.
Our asset base grew over 47 percent to $17.2 million
with the help of a number of chapter building
campaigns and the strong results of Live. Learn. Lead.
—The Campaign for FarmHouse.
The Chapter Housing Loan Program made its first
two loans to the South Dakota State and North
Dakota State FarmHouse Associations. We expect
this program to help many more chapters and allow
us to invest our fixed funds in a way that adds value
at the chapter level. Thanks to our loan
committee for terrific leadership
in this area.
I want to thank my fellow
Trustees for their dedication,
creativity and generous sharing
of time, talent and treasure to help
guide our endeavors.
We are also blessed to have a
terrific staff, led by Allison Rickels,
who work as a team to make all of
this possible.
Finally and most importantly,
thanks to each of you for your
support and investment in the
future of FarmHouse and all our outstanding members.
Fraternally,
Jim Tobin (IA’76), Chairman
Foundation Board of Trustees
Monsanto, retired Vice President
What a year! Our Fraternity
membership grew to nearly 1,700
undergraduate members, and we
received gifts from 2,132 donors
totaling over $6.2 million, providing
a real vote of confidence in the
leadership development underway at
FarmHouse. Here are some of the
last fiscal year’s highlights:
Live. Learn. Lead.—The Campaign for FarmHouse
pledges and contributions reached $15.9 million,
well on the way to reaching our
$20 million goal.
The third year of our Chairman’s
Club, recognizing Annual Fund
support at the $700 level and
above, grew to 90 members.
Our newest recognition level,
The Order of the Crest, for
cumulative lifetime giving of
$250,000 or more, now has 12
members with room for more.
The Foundation made grants
totaling over $696,000 to fund
leadership training, the
educational portion of chapter housing,
scholarships, computer labs, program services
and general Fraternity support. Additionally, over
$4.7 million will be saved for future grants for
chapter housing projects at 16 chapters.
Our endowment funds earned a return of 6.62
percent, even in a low interest rate environment.
We spent 4.7 cents on fundraising for each dollar
raised, an impressive and award‐winning
“What a year! [...]
thanks to each of
you for your support
and investment in
the future of
FarmHouse.”

THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION 2014 ‐15 Annual Report 4
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This year’s Annual Report comes to
you on the heels of an exciting year
for FarmHouse.
More undergraduates are joining
FarmHouse each year, with more than
1,650 undergraduates currently. And,
the Fraternity is expanding to more
universities across North America—in
the last five years, five new chapters
have been chartered.
Additionally, the suite of leadership programs offered by
the Fraternity is increasing in size and quality. In 2014, the
International Fraternity added The Journey: FarmHouse
service immersion experience to Honduras, FarmHouse
GROWS recruitment school and the
Volunteer Leadership Summit for
FarmHouse alumni volunteers who
work with the chapters.
The Foundation is also experiencing
unprecedented momentum following
the launch of Live. Learn. Lead. – The
Campaign for FarmHouse.
We are proud to announce that your
generosity broke records again for fiscal
year 2014‐15, concluding Feb. 28, 2015.
You and 2,132 alumni, undergraduates and friends
donated a record $6.23 million to the Foundation, and our
assets increased to over $17.2 million.
In turn, $696,248 was granted for leadership training,
computer technology, academic scholarships, the
educational portion of chapter housing and support of the
International Office.
Additionally, over $4.7 million of what was raised will
be saved for future grants for the educational portion of
chapter housing projects at 16 chapters.
All that being said, it isn’t about the money.
It is about making FarmHouse’s mission possible with the
support you give year after year. It is about you extending
your generosity and investing in 1,650 young men you may
have never met.
Because of you…
Leaders are inspired through FH educational programs.
Your dedicated support provides vital training, mentoring
and networking opportunities at the annual FarmHouse
Leadership Institute, the Regional Leadership Conferences,
the Emerging Talent Retreat, the Journey: FarmHouse, the
Power of 7 Seminar, Conclave and locally through retreats
and consultation visits.
Scholarships are awarded. FarmHouse members have
the opportunity to excel and continue their education
through much‐needed academic scholarships. Others have
the opportunity to discover the world first‐hand through
study abroad scholarships.
Chapter house facilities are improved. You assist the
Fraternity and Foundation in ensuring that FarmHouse men
have a safe, affordable and comfortable home away from
home to live in, and, the up‐to‐date technology needed for
today and tomorrow’s members.
FarmHouse undergraduates are becoming the leaders
of tomorrow. Your investment prepares today’s members
for life after college through values‐based educational
programs and provides for the continued development of
the International Office, staff and
resources to continue to do more.
Your generosity enables talented
young men to have a FarmHouse
experience much like the one that
helped shape you into the leader you
are today. You are changing their
lives and, by extension, the world.
As we embark on our new fiscal
year, in order to keep pace with the
Fraternity’s exceptional educational
programs, we can’t rest on our laurels. Today more is
required to educate students for the challenges of our times.
The changing world we live in calls for new investments in
FarmHouse.
There are chapter houses in dire need of improvement
(live.), young men deserving of scholarships (learn.) and
inspiring educational programs to fully‐fund (lead.). This
requires an even stronger foundation under the excellent
leadership programs and resources provided to our 1,650
undergraduate’s today and in the future.
I ask you to continue your commitment by making a
gift or pledge today so that together we can provide more
opportunities for young men to receive the rewarding
and life‐changing educational experience that FarmHouse
provides.
Your philanthropy changes lives, not just today,
but forever.
Loyally,
Allison Rickels, CFRE
Executive Director

“It isn’t about the money.
It is about making
FarmHouse’s mission

THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION 2014 ‐15 Annual Report 8
Foundation Launches $20 Million Campaign
FarmHouse undergraduates helped provide a celebratory announcement of the public phase of the
Foundation’s new Live. Learn. Lead. Campaign and how much had been raised by Conclave.
“We envision FarmHouse as a premier
leadership organization. One that attracts
the best and brightest men, supports their
education in and out of the classroom,
provides them a support system with a
safe, comfortable and affordable home to
live in, and continues to be a Builder of
Men for generations to come.”
This bold vision was announced
at the 48th Biennial Conclave on July 26,
2014. The FarmHouse Foundation Trustees
joined with undergraduates, alumni, staff
and friends to launch Live. Learn. Lead.—
The Campaign for FarmHouse.
This Campaign is the most ambitious
fundraising effort in the Fraternity and
Foundation’s history with a goal to raise
$20 million.
Thanks to the generosity of a growing list
of leaders and exemplars, the Foundation
kicked off the public phase of the Campaign
with the announcement that $12.1 million,
more than half of the goal, had been raised.
As of June 30, an impressive
$17 million has been invested in the
Campaign. FarmHouse alumni have
shown that they are ready, locally and
Internationally, to support their Fraternity
in significant ways.
The Foundation’s goal is to raise the
remainder of its goal by Conclave 2016—
a challenging task, to be sure, but one the
Foundation Trustees and Staff are confident
can be accomplished with the help of every
FarmHouse man.
Live. Learn. Lead.—The Campaign for
FarmHouse is about our future. It is about
making sure FarmHouse International
Fraternity can sustain its remarkable ability
to educate and assist young men to become
the leaders of tomorrow who will make a
difference in our world.
Today more is required to educate
students for the challenges of our times.
The changing world we live in calls for new
investments in FarmHouse.
There are chapter houses in dire need of
improvement (live), young men deserving
of scholarships (learn) and inspiring
educational programs to fully‐fund (lead).
This requires an even stronger
foundation under the excellent leadership
programs and resources provided to our
1,650 undergraduate members today and in
the future. In turn, these young men will
become leaders in their careers, families,
communities and society.
The Campaign offers three ways to
invest:
Founders Annual Fund
$3 million goal Support of the Annual Fund provides
current, flexible, unrestricted financial
resources for the ongoing leadership
programs, educational initiatives and
operations to do the most good for as many
FH undergraduates as possible. The most
effective investments are unrestricted for
use where the challenges and outcomes are
the greatest.
Legacy Endowment Funds
$7 million goal An investment in one of our 146
endowment funds, or establishing a named
endowment fund, permanently ensures
FarmHouse will always have the “seed
corn” necessary for the future.
Chapter Excellence Funds
$10 million goal Additionally, donors can support their
chapter’s educational programs and local
chapter housing campaigns through their
Building Fund or Foundation Council.
“Live. Learn. Lead.—The Campaign for
FarmHouse is about taking the next step,
realizing our potential and changing the
lives of hundreds of FarmHouse young men
not just today, but forever,” said Allison
Rickels, Foundation executive director in
announcing the Campaign.
She continued, “FarmHouse is
stronger than ever. But, if progress shall
mark our every step, it’s time to think and
invest even bigger than before.
This Campaign allows us to honor all that
FarmHouse has achieved, and by reaching
our $20 million goal, assures we can
continue to support the next generation of
exceptional FarmHouse men in
unprecedented ways.”
Rickels concluded, “I invite all
FarmHouse alumni and friends to invest in
this historic Campaign. I guarantee your
investment will be well worth it!”

Investing in Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
Cash and other gifts of current assets such as stock can be spread over 5 years. Appropriately documented planned gifts such as bequests, insurance policies, IRA’s, charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities can be a part of the Campaign. In fact, several donors have pledged a combination of current and estate gifts. You may designate your gift to a variety of programs, including to directly benefit your own chapter. The most effective gifts are unrestricted for use where the needs are the greatest. Gifts to either the Annual Fund or Endowment enable the Foundation to fund worthy programs reflective of the Fraternity’s priorities and goals and respond to unanticipated needs and future educational projects. Regardless of the amount and fund designation, all gifts and pledges given to the FarmHouse Foundation are recognized as Campaign donations and help ensure a thriving future for FarmHouse.

13 GENEROUS ALUMNI JOIN NEW GIVING SOCIETY
At the 48th Biennial Conclave, the
FarmHouse Foundation Trustees
launched Live. Learn. Lead.—The

a goal to raise $20 million.
In conjunction with the kickoff,
Foundation Chairman Jim Tobin (IA ’76)
announced the Foundation’s newest
giving society, The Order of the Crest.
It is reserved for the Foundation’s most
generous investors whose cumulative
gifts have reached $250,000 and above.
Eleven individuals join as inaugural

In announcing it, Chairman Tobin
said, “My wife, Gina, and I are pleased to
contribute and be a part of this new
giving level. I am also deeply honored
to recognize 10 FarmHouse men as
inaugural members and exemplary
donors and leaders. These men have
given generously to advance our mission,
are pillars of their communities and of
our FH family, and have each made a
significant impact on our Fraternity.
Recognition with this new giving society
is a small gesture of our appreciation for
what they have given to Build the Leaders
of Tomorrow.”
The 11 inaugural members and their
spouses include: Mary Alice & Ronald
Bergan (ND ’62), Gina & Ken Davis (OK

DONORS GIVE OVER $61,000 DURING 48TH CONCLAVE
Arms were flying, spotters were
calling and the auctioneer was rushing
to keep up with bids during the
Foundation’s Conclave Benefit Auction
on July 26, 2014. Bidders competed for
items ranging from Indy 500 box seat
tickets, and a private plane ride along the
Lake Michigan shoreline to a custom‐
made metal FarmHouse crest and
Monsanto sweet corn seed.
Attendees and FarmHouse alumni
across the country also had the
opportunity to bid on items throughout
the week during the online silent auction.
We thank all of our Auction donors
and those who contributed unique items,
exclusive experiences and FH
memorabilia to make the Auction a
success.
Proceeds from the Live & Silent
Auction, totaling $16,604 provided
educational grants to FarmHouse
International Fraternity for the leadership
speakers and educational programming
presented during Conclave. This money
will also help the Fraternity secure
nationally‐acclaimed leadership speakers
and plan top‐notch educational programs
for the 49th Biennial Conclave in 2016.
Also, as part of the Live Auction,
donors contributed an additional $39,196
to the Annual Fund during the special
“Fund‐The‐Need” auction.
In addition to the live and silent
auctions, the Foundation’s “Stars of
FarmHouse” wall was back again. A
record‐breaking 588 stars shone on the
wall, raising over $5,900 for the Annual
Fund. Alumni and friends of FarmHouse
had the opportunity to purchase a star in
honor or memory of a brother even if
they couldn’t attend Conclave.
Altogether, over $61,000 was raised
during Conclave for Foundation grants.
Undergraduates, alumni and friends enjoy the 48th Biennial Conclave July 23‐27, 2014 in Charlotte, N.C.

THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION 2014 ‐15 Annual Report 12
ASSOCIATE MEMBER LEAVES A LEGACY by Bob Off (CO’64), Executive Director Emeritus
I’ve always admired the wisdom of the Fraternity’s practice
and policy of allowing the chapters to initiate worthy men as
associate members that didn’t become members as
undergraduates for whatever reason. Many, if not most, have
become exemplary members, generously giving of their “time,
pleasures and comforts” as chapter advisors, serving on
association boards and on the International Executive Board.
One such man was John Riley (KS ’73). John passed away
suddenly on Sept. 16, 2013, at the age of 66. He was professor
of agricultural economics at the University of Tennessee (UT),
working there since 1995, and serving four years as the dean of
agriculture. He became an advisor for the Tennessee Chapter
shortly after coming to UT from Kansas State University,
where he had been professor of ag economics and assistant
director of resident instruction for the Ag College.
It was at Kansas State that John became involved with
FarmHouse, and the chapter initiated him as an associate
member. He served a number of years as an advisor to the
K‐State Chapter and as mentor to many chapter members for
over 20 years.
In 2011, John shared his estate plans with Allison Rickels,
the FarmHouse Foundation’s executive director, and he
became the second member to join the Foundation’s
100 Legacies In The Making Campaign.
In early June of 2014, John’s estate was settled, and his
bequest to the Foundation of close to a half million dollars
became the largest estate gift the Foundation had received at
the time. The major beneficiary was the Tennessee Chapter’s
Building Fund, which has the potential to be a game changer
for that chapter. The K‐State Chapter’s building fund also
received a generous amount, as did the Annual Fund.
We celebrate John’s devotion and service to the Fraternity,
and we are grateful for his generosity. John’s example as an
associate member is a reminder of the role FarmHouse has
played in shaping and building each of us. Further, it
underscores the opportunity that alumni and friends of the
Fraternity have, through the 100 Legacies In The Making
Campaign, to assure that the Fraternity continues to Build
Men in perpetuity.
Our goal is for 100 alumni to step up and make provision
for a bequest or other planned gift of $10,000 or more, which
the donor has not previously advised the Foundation Trustees
about. Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) is the Foundation’s
threshold for named endowment funds that become a
permanent part of the Foundation’s support for the Fraternity.
To date, 53 alumni have pledged over $3.6 million in estate
gifts through the 100 Legacies in the Making Campaign, and
we are working on more.
We haven’t reached our goal—yet! To do so, we ask you to
consider John Riley’s example and how you might leave a
legacy with FarmHouse. Many of us don’t have the
opportunities that John had to directly advise and mentor our
undergraduate brothers, but we can use our estate to support
the Building of Men.

2014 ‐15 Annual Report
FOUNDATION RECEIVES AFP AWARD
On Nov. 20.
2014, the
FarmHouse
Foundation
received the
distinguished
2014 “Excellence
in Fundraising
Award” from
the Association
of Fundraising
Professionals
(AFP)
Mid‐America
Chapter at their
National
Philanthropy
Day Celebration.
The event,
with more than 300 in attendance, took
place at the National World War I
Museum in Kansas City, Mo. The
FarmHouse Foundation was among
eight honorees recognized, and the only
organization staff/team honored.
National Philanthropy Day (NPD)
began in 1986 and is recognized by
numerous states, provincial, and local
governments across North America. Its
purpose is to recognize and pay tribute
to the great contributions that
philanthropy—and those people active
in the philanthropic community—have
made to our lives, our communities and
our world.
For more than 20 years, the AFP
Mid‐America Chapter has honored
those involved in the work of
philanthropy—fundraising
professionals, fundraising volunteers
and philanthropists.
When recognizing the Foundation,
the AFP Mid‐America Chapter said,
“According to colleagues, the
FarmHouse Foundation’s team is made
up of highly skilled professional
fundraisers who inspire and maintain
volunteer and donor buy‐in, enthusiasm
and momentum all while staying the
course.”
They also said, “in the last seven
years, the total annual dollars raised
has increased to $6.2 million and
fundraising costs have dropped to
4.7 percent—well below the national
benchmark of 20 percent. Further,
through the 100 Legacies in the Making
Campaign, the Foundation has raised
$3.6 million in planned gifts.”
Additionally, media releases after the
event included the following, “This
team has raised millions of dollars to
support the educational, leadership
and scholarship programs of the
International Fraternity and its
undergraduate members as well as for
capital improvements for the
Fraternity’s various chapters. Their
executive director, Allison Rickels,
is the first woman to lead the
foundation of an all‐male fraternity.”
We are grateful for and humbled by
this distinguished award.
Executive Director, Allison
Rickels, accepting the
Excellence in Fundraising
award at the AFP’s Mid‐
America Chapter’s National
Philanthropy Day.
Foundation staff members were
featured in a video created for the
National Philanthropy Day
Award Ceremony. This video

programs supporting FarmHouse
undergraduates.

PROVIDE FOR YOUR FUTURE
Did you know you can earn an excellent rate of return if you establish a Charitable
Gift Annuity (CGA) with the FarmHouse Foundation? Today’s low interest rates offer
great incentives to open a CGA with the FarmHouse Foundation. For as little as $10,000,
you can ensure fixed income during your lifetime (or even that of your spouse), a
charitable tax deduction during the year in which you make the gift and the pride of
knowing you will provide for future generations of FarmHouse men. The chart to the
right includes the rates the Foundation currently offers. Contact us to find out how you
can receive extra income while at the same time changing lives, not just someday, but
every day and forever.

FarmHouse Leadership Institute (FLI)
The FarmHouse Leadership Institute (FLI)
is held each January in Kansas City, Mo., and
gathers top undergraduate leaders from
across North America for four intense
days of leadership training. Read more on
pages 31‐32.
Regional Leadership Conferences (RLC)
The 2015 RLCs were held in Mobile, Ala.;
Billings, Mont.; and Detroit, Mich. The
curriculum featured the leadership book,
“An Enemy called Average,” which focused
on understanding and identifying ways to
improve chapters. Members attended
workshops on leadership, career networking,
professional etiquette and financial
education. Each RLC also featured a night
out in the host city—the USS Alabama, a
WWII‐era battleship anchored in Mobile Bay,
Ala.; the Little Bighorn Battlefield National
Monument at Custer’s Last Stand and the
Lakota Indian Tribe Memorial, in Crow
Agency, Mont.; and the Henry Ford
Museum, in Dearborn, Mich.
To Be and Become…
Emerging Talent Retreat
Each chapter is invited to send a man who
has completed his first year of college to the
To Be & Become… Emerging Talent Retreat.
Last fiscal year, 28 men attended the
conference held May 21‐23, 2014, at Camp
Heartland outside of Kansas City, Mo. The
curriculum included individual leadership
development through the StrengthsQuest
program, outdoor adventure team building
activities and a high ropes course.
2014 Conclave
The 48th Biennial Conclave was held in
Charlotte, N.C., July 23‐27, 2014. This
biennial meeting of FarmHouse
representatives from every chapter and
association included educational
programming workshops, Conclave
committee and delegate meetings and the
election of International Executive Board
leadership. Master Builders and Philanthropy
Laureates were recognized and attendees
enjoyed activities in the Charlotte area.
During Conclave donors gave over $61,000
to support the educational programs and
initiatives of FarmHouse International
Fraternity and Foundation.
Power of 7 Seminar
This award‐winning Seminar is a first‐
class think‐tank on the nation and
FarmHouse Fraternity. The program is an
informal forum, conducted under the
leadership of the Foundation Trustees, on the
international business climate and economy.
Membership in The Power of 7 is exclusive to
alumni who pledge to give $7,000, a tax‐
deductible gift, to the Annual Fund. In
return, they are invited to attend a dynamic,
interactive two‐day educational Seminar and
mentor a top junior or senior undergraduate
leader. Read more on page 28.
Inaugural The Journey: FarmHouse
May 31‐June 6, 2014, 14 FarmHouse men
and facilitators traveled to Honduras to offer
ʺservice to their fellowmen and to the world.ʺ
They built a house for a family in need,
toured the countryside and learned about
Honduran agriculture. In addition to the
service and immersion components,
dedicated time was spent in group discussion
and personal reflection related to their work,
the community they were working in and
how they could continue to make a difference
in their home communities.
Support for Individual Chapters
Through the chapters’ Foundation
Councils, the Foundation provides support
for local chapter programming such as
chapter retreats, etiquette dinners and
leadership training seminars on both the
local campus and national level.
Fraternityʹs Chapter Consultation Program
Fraternity Educational Leadership
Consultants visit each chapter and colony
every year. They live in the chapter house for
several days, meet with chapter officers and
offer leadership programming to all chapter
members. They then make recommendations
for improvement and provide support
following the visit.
Association & Advisor Visit
Education Program
Trained staff and volunteers travel to
chapters to assess and monitor the
effectiveness of the chapter advisory team
leadership. They work to connect alumni
volunteers with local chapters and
associations through volunteer service and
assist in training and educating advisors and
association board members on topics and
issues relevant to chapters and
undergraduate students.
PROGRAMS & GRANTS
Thanks to you and other generous FarmHouse alumni and friends from across North America, the
FarmHouse Foundation was able to provide the Fraternity $696,248 in funding for educational and leadership purposes in the 2014‐15 fiscal year.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING & EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS $141,481 was provided for leadership training and educational programs. Nearly 600 chapter members were directly impacted
and all 1,650 members were indirectly affected. Below is a list of FarmHouse educational and leadership programs for FY 14‐15.

that Builders of Men portray daily. Thank you for believing in me and

23 THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION
2014 ‐15 Annual Report
YEUTTER SCHOLARSHIP HONORS FORMER
U.S. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
Several of
Dr. Clayton
Yeutter’s (NE
’49) friends and
FarmHouse
brothers, led by
long‐time
friends Ben and
Marsha Neff,
decided it was
long overdue to
honor Yeutter’s worldwide
contributions to agriculture and public
service.
Knowing his long‐time affiliation
with FarmHouse International
Fraternity and his support of higher
education, it was determined that a
scholarship fund in Clayton’s name
was most appropriate.
Led by the Neff’s generosity, The
Clayton K. Yeutter Scholarship Fund,
honoring his service as United States
Secretary of Agriculture, 1989 to 1991
was established.
The purpose of the endowed fund
is to annually provide academic
scholarships to recognize and reward
outstanding student members of
FarmHouse who are seeking degrees
in agriculture and/or public affairs.
With over a half century of public
service, it is difficult to recount all of
Yeutter’s esteemed activities.
A native Nebraskan, Clayton served
in various leadership roles at the
University of Nebraska and in state
government prior to serving four
United States presidents as Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture, U.S. Trade
Representative and U.S. Ambassador
for Special Trade.
As a Master Builder, Yeutter’s
service has not been confined to the
public sector, he played a key role in a
number of private enterprises as well.
He served seven years as president of
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange,
served on the board of directors of 22
for‐profit corporations, including some
of the nation’s largest. He helped make
a difference through his role as a
member of the board of directors of
numerous non‐profit organizations in
the United States and internationally.
Although Clayton has been
awarded eight honorary doctorate
degrees and numerous citations and
plaques, his friends felt a scholarship
fund for college students would
encourage future leadership in
agriculture and/or public affairs. A
reflection of the life Dr. Yeutter
continues to live.
In learning of the scholarship,
Clayton said, “This scholarship means
more to me than all the trophies and
awards I have accumulated over a
lifetime. It really hits home to what life,
and friends, and colleagues are all
about. They’re worth more than all of
the material things with which we have
been blessed.”
“It was during those four years at
FarmHouse that I grew up,” he added.
“I discovered that I would have to earn
everything I got, and that I was expected
to toe the line of FarmHouse principles.
None of my career experiences would
ever have occurred had I not spent those
four wonderful years at FarmHouse.”
“We are grateful to those friends and
FH brothers of Clayton’s who have so
generously given to create a scholarship
in Clayton’s name,” said Allison Rickels,
Foundation executive director.
“This fund will permanently honor
Clayton’s prominent and esteemed
career in public service, the incredible
impact he has made on countless
individuals, communities and
businesses across our country, and his
lifelong involvement and pride in being
a FarmHouse member. This annual
scholarship will impact the education of
numerous budding civic leaders to help
them become the next generation of
leaders of our country, like Clayton.”
Since the creation of the scholarship
in Clayton’s name, additional
FarmHouse brothers and colleagues
have contributed in his honor.
Additional gifts to this scholarship fund
are continually welcomed and accepted.
A list of donors will be kept and shared
with Clayton from time to time.
The first scholarship from the Yeutter
Scholarship Fund will be awarded to a
deserving FarmHouse undergraduate

THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION 2014 ‐15 Annual Report 24
“100 DAYS FOR $100,000 BY 100 YEARS” CAMPAIGN
HONORS MASTER BUILDER C.J. GAUGER (IA ’37)
When the C.J. and Dorothy Gauger
Endowment was initially established by
four of C.J.’s mentees, it was decided the
best way to honor C.J. was to support
the newest members of the Fraternity.
This was because, as C.J. told it, he
thought he “wasn’t cut out for college
and didn’t think he could afford being in
a fraternity,” until he was introduced to
FarmHouse.
As a Master Builder, C.J. was a
life‐long teacher, servant leader and
mentor to thousands of young people.
So, it was fitting for this fund to support
the To Be and Become…Emerging
Talent Retreat for new members across
the Fraternity. To Be and Become is an
award‐winning outdoor experiential
learning retreat designed as a leadership
assessment and personal strengths
development opportunity.
In anticipation of his centennial
birthday in March 2014, the Foundation
assisted four Iowa State alumni, who
had previously established an
endowment fund to recognize C.J.,
with a plan to recognize him.
Together with the staff, they led a
short‐term, intensive fundraising
campaign to honor C.J. and his many
years of service to the Fraternity and
young men across the nation. The
campaign was launched on January 5,
2014, exactly 100 days prior to
Founders’ Day on April 15.
Thanks to 115 FarmHouse brothers
and friends, the “100 days for $100,000
by 100 years” campaign was a
tremendous success. Remarkably, in
only 100 days, $85,000 was raised to
grow the endowment to $100,000.
Thanks to the generosity of the
donors, the Gauger Endowment Fund
will provide permanent funding and
support for the To Be and Become…
Emerging Talent Retreat.
At C.J.’s FarmHouse 100th birthday
party on March 2, 2014, and again at
the Iowa State FH Founders’ Day
Celebration on April 12, 2014, the news
was shared with C.J. and those
gathered for the special occasion.
In response to this news, C.J. said,
“FarmHouse has opened many doors
for me and I have tried to reciprocate
by opening doors for brothers and
others.
I am so humbled, but pleased that
these gifts will continue to support
FarmHouse and young people as they
strive to improve and grow.”
C.J. was always a “builder of men”
with his commitment to young people
as a vocational agriculture educator, an
extension agent, state 4‐H leader and
counsel to FarmHouse chapters and
alumni members alike. His extensive
involvement in FarmHouse was
recognized by his peers by being named
a Master Builder of Men in 1984.
This campaign not only honored C.J.,
but also enabled future generations of
Farmhouse new members to experience
this award‐winning, once‐in‐a‐lifetime
Retreat for years to come.
The evening of Sunday, April 26,
2015, C.J., passed away peacefully with
family by his side in Ames, Iowa.
He was 101 years old. Many
FarmHouse men live long lives, but
few remain as active and involved
throughout their lives as C.J.—visiting
the Iowa State Chapter each semester to
meet the new members, as recently as
last fall.
He eagerly volunteered to conduct
chapter consultation visits and never left
a room without greeting all those who
wished to greet him. He, more so than
many, emulated what it means to be a
FarmHouse man.
His legacy of leadership and service
was honored and is now memorialized
with the formal establishment of the C.J.
& Dorothy Gauger Endowment Fund
with the Foundation. Those wishing to
do so may make a memorial gift online
or by mail to the C.J. & Dorothy Gauger
Endowment Fund.

31 THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION
2014 ‐15 Annual Report
POWER OF 7 SEMINAR
“The Power of 7 Seminar was truly an
inspiring experience. The opportunity to
meet successful and prominent alumni from
our Fraternity is unparalleled. From
listening to words of wisdom to discussing
topics pertaining to society today, the Power
of 7 Seminar is an insightful weekend. I
would encourage others to attend the Power
of 7 Seminar to gain new perspective
towards life and motivation,” said Holden
Hutchinson (OH ’13) about his experience at the 9th Annual Power of 7 Seminar,
April 24‐26, 2015, in Santa Rosa, Calif.
The Power of 7 Seminar, a first‐class think
tank on our Fraternity and the nation,
gathered alumni, spouses and eight
undergraduate leaders for a weekend of
learning, brotherhood and fellowship.
The Seminar began Friday evening with a
welcome reception, followed by dinner and
“Your FarmHouse Story” presentation from
the undergraduates. Roundtable discussions
began Saturday morning, led by panels of
Power of 7 donors and Trustees.
Topics included the globalization of
agriculture, the fraternity experience today,
production agriculture, experiences in active
investing and the U.S. business climate.
Time was also spent enjoying beautiful
Sonoma County and a private vineyard tour
to learn first‐hand how wine is produced in
northern California.
The Seminar concluded Sunday morning
with advice, lessons and reflections from the
undergraduates, alumni and spouses.
Reflecting on his Power of 7 experience,
Second 7 Founder Rick Brock (PU ’71) said, “This Seminar is stimulating in many
ways. Sharing thoughts and experiences
with alumni from around the country who
have been very successful in their careers is a
highlight of the Power of 7. Reflecting back
on the role FarmHouse played in our lives
and impacted our own careers and others,
and then to share those experiences with
students is a rewarding feeling.”
Interested in attending in 2016?
Save the Date—the 10th Annual Power of 7
Seminar will be held April 22‐24, 2016, at the
Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Co.
Alumni who make an Annual Fund gift of
$7,000 or more during the 2015‐16 fiscal year
are invited to attend this impactful Seminar
and have the opportunity to mentor one of
FarmHouse’s top undergraduates during the
weekend. Contact Allison Rickels at
(800) 722‐1905 or [email protected]

THE FARMHOUSE FOUNDATION 2014 ‐15 Annual Report 32
The Annual Fund recognizes alumni and friends of the Fraternity who provide annual unrestricted
gifts to the FarmHouse Foundation, thus fueling much of the service and progress of both the Fraternity
and the Foundation. New programs often begin with the support of unrestricted money and unrestricted
giving is essential to the Foundation’s operation and programs.
In order to honor and recognize donors who make unrestricted gifts, the Foundation Board of Trustees
has established the Annual Fund program. The Foundation would be honored to add your name to our
growing list of those who annually make an investment in the “Building of Men.”
If you are interested in becoming a donor or if your name has been omitted or accompanied by
incorrect information, contact the Foundation at (800) 722‐1905. († denotes deceased)

opportunity arises. Once again I would like to express to you my

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE DONORS,
CONTINUED WHY I GIVE...
“I recall that soon after getting my
first ‘real’ paycheck I started an
annual gift going back to
FarmHouse. I am not the largest
giver but I am consistent with a gift
each year. FarmHouse taught me so
much—social skills, leadership,
study habits that led to a better
grade point and much more. I still
regard some of those moral and
ethical practices as part of the
foundation that has helped me in
my career as well as everyday
living.” —Jim Thomsen (IA ’48)
“I like knowing my charitable
contributions are going to places
that put the money to productive
use.” —Ron Vaske (SD ’87)
“I am grateful for all that
FarmHouse stands for and for the
opportunity to be a part of it as a
donor and member.”
—John Foltz (OH ’55)
“My wife and I felt that giving to
FarmHouse is something that we
want to do for the future.
FarmHouse was and is a large part
of my life. I gained so much from
the time I was in the house during
college, and the friendships still
impact our lives to this day.”
—David Ballard (MI ’76)
“Given the group involved, I joined
the Foundation Board with high
expectations. But very clearly, the
professionalism with how this
organization is run was truly
impressive. There are incredibly
talented people involved. That
should be comforting to the people
that are giving of their resources to
the Fraternity. Those resources are
in good hands.”
—Bob Knief (IL ’89)

2014 ‐15 Annual Report
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dear FarmHouse Foundation
Board of Trustees:
I have audited the accompanying
Statement of Financial Position of The
FarmHouse Foundation as of Feb. 28,
2015, and the related Statement of
Activities, Changes in Net Assets and
Cash Flows for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Foundation’s
management. My responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those
standards require that I plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material
misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement
presentation. I believe that my audits
provide a reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position
of The FarmHouse Foundation as of
Feb. 28, 2015, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

2014 ‐15 Annual Report
How to Plant Seeds with the FarmHouse Foundation Giving Opportunities That Make a Difference
Your Support The Foundation is grateful
for the hundreds of
FarmHouse members and
friends who contribute each
year. It is their support that
makes all FarmHouse
educational and leadership
programs possible. The
following are ways to
support the FarmHouse
Foundation:
Annual Support These gifts typically arrive in
the form of checks, credit
card gifts or gifts of stock.
Most donors do not restrict
the use of their annual gifts.
This allows gifts to be allocated to the areas of most critical need.
Online Donations The Foundation accepts donations online through PayPal,
which accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover
and electronic checks. To make a gift online, please visit us at
www.FarmHouse.org/Foundation.
Electronic Transfer Gift Program This program allows you to have money withdrawn directly
from your checking or saving account without having to write
monthly checks or make one substantial gift. Gifts can be
withdrawn either monthly or quarterly, on either the 1st or
15th of the month.
Gifts of Grain The Foundation can accept gifts of grain. When making such a
gift you will receive a tax deduction, or if you don’t itemize, it
will reduce the income you have to pay taxes on. For more
information about making a gift of grain, please contact the
Foundation.
Memorial and Honorary Gifts A memorial or honorary gift is a thoughtful way to recognize a
brother’s life and accomplishments. Any amount can be
directed toward this type of recognition. Memorial gifts are
acknowledged to the family while honorary gifts are
acknowledged to the individual.
Stock Gifts Appreciated Stocks and mutual funds can be transferred
electronically from your brokerage account or can be sent
through the mail if held in certificate form.
Matching Gifts Your employer may have a
matching gift program that
can multiply your support.
Please ask your personnel
office for the necessary
forms.
Endowment & Named Funds Permanently endowed
funds may be established
and named in accordance
with a donor’s wishes
through gifts of $10,000 or
more. Endowments may
also be created with smaller
gifts that the donor pledges
to increase, over five years,
to the $10,000 level. Endowment funds provide a constant source
of income for the Foundation and are spent with careful
consideration of the donor’s intentions. Choosing to endow and
name a Fraternity program or scholarship is a terrific way to
Permanently establish and recognize your legacy in FarmHouse.
Planned Gifts Long‐range estate and financial planning can enable you to
make a substantial contribution to a program or project of your
choice in a manner consistent with your overall charitable and
personal commitments. Some examples of planned gifts include
bequests, insurance policies, charitable remainder trusts and
charitable gift annuities. The Foundation recognizes alumni who
have made such gifts as members of the FarmHouse Futures
Fund and now as part of the “100 Legacies In The Making.”
Restricted Gifts Some alumni choose to restrict their gifts to specific programs,
scholarships, a foundation council or building fund. For
example, one alumnus may ask that his gift be used solely for
scholarships while another alumnus may direct his gift to the
Leadership Institute. Both of these gifts are acceptable and
welcomed. The Foundation does retain the right, however, to
decline any gift that does not meet the approved purposes of
the Foundation or would be overly restrictive.
