FARM

Introduction F O U N D A T I O N

Quigley Farm is a neighborhood development dedicated to building a thriving and restorative community through collaborations and partnerships that produce sustainable economic, social, and environmental benefits. Quigley Farm utilizes private enterprise to generate return for investors and to fund a backbone charitable organization, the Quigley Foundation, which provides support to nonprofit and commercial collaborators. In this way, Quigley Farm offers an impact investment opportunity with genuine and sustainable economic, social, and environmental returns. The locus of Quigley Farm is Quigley Canyon, which lies I N I Tto Ithe Aeastern T I Vedge E of the City of Hailey, less immediately adjacent than one air mile from Sun Valley Airport, and fewer than 15 miles from Sun Valley Resort. The Quigley Farm Project encompasses over 1,500 acres of mixed agricultural, sage, and forested land nestled into the rolling hills and smaller side canyons that comprise the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains. With 1880 water rights, a perennial stream flowing through the property, and nearly 300 acres of existing arable land, Quigley’s size, history, proximity, and availability make it ideally suited for a project intended to be a model of transformative change. By utilizing investment capital and private enterprise, Quigley Farm achieves financial sustainability plus pure philanthropy, by simultaneously creating the Quigley Foundation–a nonprofit entity designed to anchor and to manage the community. 8

Supported by a variety of housing options, commercial agriculture, and business and recreational amenities, Quigley Farm is a complete neighborhood. Designed around a set of guiding principles, Quigley Farm balances the competing forces of economic viability, social benefit, and environmental sustainability. Quigley Farm does this by providing an economic model, a physical space, and a collaborative framework upon which a group of organizations, as well as new entities and ideas, can work synergistically toward a collective purpose. Quigley Farm is a unique project that blends for profit and nonprofit models into a sustainable community that is transformative in its creation and structure.

Envision the Future

Quigley Farm is a mixture of interests and ideas, of potential and promise; it is a vibrant, wellness-infused community. Nearly 300 acres of agricultural land runs down the center of Quigley Canyon. Picture alfalfa and grain fields winding around a variety of home sites; see clusters of modest, cozy dwellings and individual homes tucked among trees and farm lots that run seamlessly into open fields. Quigley Farm combines economic, social, and environmental goals using nonprofit and for profit ideals. This is a neighborhood that mixes ages, experience, and expertise, where a retired couple helps out in The Kitchen and in teaching the business classes, where graduate students work on high altitude crops, where a diverse set of individuals and organizations share space and collaborate in an air of active and meaningful industry and collective purpose. Imagine you simultaneously have the ability to take in a bird’s eye view of Quigley Farm and the capacity to fully grasp all that is going on at any given point in time. From that bird’s eye view one will see: Farming and Food Sources: Envision teams of people are working in greenhouses under the coordination of the Quigley Foundation, a nonprofit organization that oversees and manages the work in and around Quigley Farm. With the recent harvest, volunteers and clients are learning how to preserve their yield. A class of students is adding a scientific approach to nutrition and learning about phase shifting and acids and bases as they prepare culinary delights for an upcoming catered dinner. Community Involvement: See The Kitchen and The Market and The Shop as a series of connected workspaces. Several are occupied by nonprofit 10

organizations that partner with the Quigley Foundation. Others include individuals and small businesses that benefit from an actively functioning business center. Food entrepreneurs have access to a fully stocked commercial kitchen and use the space to cater on weekends and holidays. A repairman uses the wood shop, the tool library, and the electronics lab to fix, replace, and create. The core campus provides amenities that might otherwise be prohibitive, from practical needs like Internet access and office space, to the more intangible, a connection to a community that acts as an organic think tank in an entrepreneurial atmosphere. Education and Research: Picture a small Biological Research Station that sits at the back of the canyon. Nestled into a pine and fir forest, the station is designed to monitor and record the area’s natural history. As a part of the school curriculum, students from The Sage School empty images from the digital camera traps spread throughout the conserved land capturing animal migration patterns, and they survey the trees on the same property to study the effects of weather and climate. A perennial stream flows near the station into a patchwork of alfalfa, rye, and barley fields. Toward the mouth of Quigley Canyon are row crops and vegetables

Environmental Responsibility: Watch the water temporarily pool in a pond where Deadman’s Gulch opens to the North, connected to the canyon by a heavy corridor of trees and a “Deer Crossing” sign. A sculpted mountain bike trail empties bikers into the main part of Quigley Farm, while hikers and trail runners explore a network of paths throughout the property. Dedicated to balancing human powered recreation with conservation and research, Deadman’s is a seasonal reminder of the ebb and flow of the human and animal worlds- in Fall, signs steer people clear of deer and elk habitat, in Winter, animals are free to roam Deadman’s Gulch and are appreciated from a distance by cross-country skiers and snowshoers. A Thriving Community: Understand a complete neighborhood. Staying at The Inn is a couple making their final wedding plans- looking at the rooms for the bridal party, going over the menu from The Kitchen, and walking around, placing future groomsmen and family members in the space where they will exchange vows. They savor lunch in a corner of The Table, the restaurant featuring meals produced from food on the farms. They eat sourdough toast covered with plum jam, mixed greens with medallions of radish and carrots, and learn the story of their food, which is grown on the campus- by pilot farmers, by students, through the educational and research farm associated with the Quigley Foundation. The meal is prepared by culinary students, by clients of the local food bank who are in a job skills training program, by teenagers in a course on chemistry and cooking, and by participants in a nutritional workshop offered through the Wellness Center. Beyond The Table, the food is sold in The Market, a mercantile-type store featuring food products and other goods and handicrafts made in The Shop and Design Studios. The proceeds from the diverse

covered with low hoops and cold frames, and a series of greenhouses that enable year-round food production and the raising of more cold sensitive crops like towering tomato plants. Cucumbers, squash, raspberries, lettuces, and more fill one portion of The Kitchen, the commercial teaching space, where they are bound for various endssome flash frozen and stored, others cut and sized for use in the schools and hospital, and still others directed to the culinary institute for immediate use.

businesses are used to support the various programs, some serving a social purpose, others an environmental one, and still others purely entrepreneurial. The entire concept of Quigley Farm offers a promise for future generations. It is at once small enough to be possible, while large enough to represent a genuine and replicable model of change. While the whole represents something new, there is also a wonderful familiarity about the project. It just feels right. 11


Class B: Quigley Foundation

Membership Structure FARM

Quigley Farm utilizes private investment capital to generate financial return and to fund a backbone charitable organization, the Quigley Foundation. The Quigley Foundation provides support to nonprofit collaborators. Quigley Farm is designed as a collective impact initiative that uses private enterprise to fund social entrepreneurship, blending economic viability and philanthropy. Class A: Quigley Farm Equity Investors Quigley Farm, LLC is raising $10.5 million in equity to develop Quigley Farm. Class A members are preferred equity investors. Members of this class will receive a preferred return on their principal. Interest will accrue at five (5) percent per annum. Class A members will receive principal and interest distributions as Quigley Farm is developed. F Farm O Uexpects N D toAmake T Iannual O N distributions of principal and Quigley interest to the Class A members.

The Foundation will manage and operate community infrastructure, such as a commercial kitchen, a business center, and workshop space.

Class C: Quigley Initiative, LLC Class C members represent the developers of Quigley Farm. Class C members will receive distributions once payment obligations to Class A members have been met.

Membership

Class B membership is comprised of the Quigley Foundation, a backbone nonprofit organization positioned to manage, support, and serve the collaborators and to guide the collective impact initiative–a farm focused on community, education, and wellness.

The Quigley Foundation will be funded by allocating a percentage of monies in excess of Class A commitments not to exceed $3,000,000. In addition to the monies dedicated to capitalization, the Quigley Foundation will receive a donation of ~1,200 acres of land, of which ~300 acres are arable with 1880 water rights.

Funds will not be distributed to any other class member prior to Class A members receiving the full value of their capital account including accrued interest. In addition, Quigley Farm will donate the following to the Quigley Foundation: • approximately 1,200 acres of open land, ~300 acres of which I N I T I AT I V E are arable • water rights from 1880 The tax benefits of these donations will accrue to the Class A members. Class A members will have rights to distributions in excess of their principal and five (5) percent annual interest after Class B (Quigley Foundation) obligations have been fulfilled. 12

The Foundation

The Quigley Foundation is designed to be the backbone in the collective impact initiative that will enable Quigley Farm to be I N for I Tgenuine, I A T sustainable, I V E a platform community-level change: economically, socially, and environmentally. Quigley Farm provides a genuine impact investment based on real market returns, simultaneously broadening the standard definition of collective impact and also expanding the economic foundation beyond pure philanthropy. Quigley Farm seeks to leverage these investments to support the social and environmental elements of the project. In this way, Quigley Farm represents an evolution of the collective impact model to a blended-value platform where true economic viability and philanthropy exist in a mutualistic relationship. The social arm of Quigley Farm is the Quigley Foundation, at once a 501(c)(3) organization and a set of core elements that represent both the backbone organization and the physical space in and around which social initiatives occur. Several key characteristics exist in the Quigley Foundation:

14

The Quigley Foundation is funded and supported by for-sale real estate, deferred rates of return, transfer fees, commercial uses of Core elements, grants, and philanthropy.

The Quigley Foundation is part of the first phase in Quigley Farm, representing the project’s commitment to the social impacts of Quigley Farm.

The Quigley Foundation Core elements are designed to provide for the real needs of the collaborators, thereby greatly reducing those organizations’ fixed costs and facilitating the meeting of their missions. The reduction in these fixed costs allows the collaborating organizations to focus fundraising efforts and financial resources on other programs. The Quigley Foundation is designed to create a backbone organization1 whose specific charge is to coordinate, facilitate, and manage desired outcomes for the involved stakeholders and the overall community.

The Quigley Foundation is designed to require no costs from the collaborators beyond time and the initial investment in Quigley Farm.

The Quigley Foundation is a collective impact initative2 and is designed to be an endowed program, which provides for staff compensation, freeing staff to fundraise directly and entirely for programs, and to facilitate fundraising for collaborating organizations.

Paradigm and Mission The central paradigm of the Quigley Foundation is transformative, systems-level change specifically in the way we incorporate education, sustainability, and community. The Mission of the Quigley Foundation is to create scalable community-wide systemic change through food, education, and wellness. The Quigley Foundation is at once a concept and a functioning prototype of transformative thinking and behavior, resulting in substantially improved social and ecological impact.

QUIGLEY FOUNDATION

F O U N D A T I O N

As a collective impact initiative, the Quigley Foundation is focused on community, education, and wellness. By developing a farm and a neighborhood, we combine each focus into a thriving model of systemic change. The two fundamental characteristics of the Quigley Foundation paradigm are Transformation and Systems Thinking.

A Backbone Support Organization is the entity that creates and manages the collective impact initiative. This organization provides infrastructure, skills, and expertise to guide the collective impact partners.

1.

Collective impact is where a committed group of important actors from different sectors who share a common agenda work to solve specific social problems.

Guiding Principles The scope and scale of the current challenges humans face are enormously complex, involving both technical and also adaptive problems.1 As such, defining solutions is less effective than articulating a coherent and simple set of guiding principles that govern behavior and inform decision-making in such a way that the desired outcomes are not just possible, but probable. Transformation is moving from one established set of conceptions and behaviors to another. The purpose of the Quigley Foundation represents an understanding that systemic change in an old system is often more difficult than building a new system. It is about questioning existing models and underlying assumptions in the relentless pursuit of building something better. Systems Thinking. A distinctive property of systems is emergence2 - the unexpected interactions and patterns that arise out of relationships. While objectives can be designed, what the system ultimately produces and sustains is unknowable until the system is functioning. Rather than becoming paralyzed by this ambiguity and uncertainty, the Quigley Foundation seeks to embrace adaptation and responsiveness and foster a spirit of dynamic equilibrium. Within this framework, the Guiding Principles of the Quigley Foundation are:

16

Commitment- Key to the successful functioning of any project is a specific purpose. The Quigley Foundation is built on the idea of finding like-minded partners dedicated to its mission of community-scale systemic change. Teamwork- Collaboration, cooperation, and communication are the hallmarks of high functioning teams, as are playfulness, support, reciprocity, and understanding.

Members of the Quigley Foundation are dedicated to embodying the attributes of excellent teams.

Exploration- Building something new requires openness and willingness. It requires ingenuity, curiosity, and humility. Exploration is creative and entrepreneurial. At its best it embodies a spirit of experimentation and playfulness, and understands that setbacks and failures are the foundation for innovation and discovery.

Quality- A culture of quality is an ongoing commitment to excellence and to persistent reflection, and correction. A culture of quality attends to those characteristics that make people feel alive- beauty, happiness, and meaning.

Wellness- Attending to the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of people is at the center of a thriving community. Accessing healthy food, realizing a sense of purpose, residing in well designed living spaces, and easily recreating outdoors are all critical elements of a community dedicated to wellness.

These Guiding Principles provide the framework within which the work is done, overlapping and reinforcing, designed to aid in manifesting the vision of Quigley Farm–a thriving and restorative neighborhood. 1. “Technical problems are well-defined: Their solutions are known and those with adequate expertise and organizational capacity can solve them… Adaptive problems are entirely different. They are not so well defined, the answers are not known in advance, and many different stakeholders are involved, each with their own perspectives.” From Heifetz, Kania, and Kramer’s “Leading Boldly” in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2004 2. Emergence is the distinctive property of systems, and is characteristic of groups in partnership. Emergence is the unexpected interactions and patterns that arise out of relationships.

17


Collaboration

Founding Collaborator Package – Nonprofit Organizations

Central to the Quigley Foundation and the Quigley Farm is partnership–building, creating, and fostering relationships around the key elements of the mission: food, education, and wellness. The strength of this project will be based on these intertwining relationships, throughout the neighborhoods, throughout the core elements of the Quigley Foundation, and throughout the community in general. Quigley Farm is designed around the importance of these relationships and seeks to develop the Quigley Foundation as an important first step in this process. As part of the primary phase the Quigley Foundation: • will enable the realization of the mission • will hold the entire community to the central paradigm and guiding principles • will add the presence and activity of a vibrant community as the heart of the overall project • will add value, up front, to the for-sale real estate Potential Collaborators The following represent potential classes of collaborators, as well as the qualities and characteristics of partners whose philosophies align with the social, economic or ecological goals of the Quigley Foundation.

Founding Collaborators represent the innovators, those nonprofit and commercial organizations fully aligned with and interested in realizing the promise of Quigley Farm’s mission and vision. Secondary Collaborators represent the early adopters, those nonprofit and commercial entities that see the promise of the collaboration after it has started to take shape. Tertiary Collaborators represent the early majority, those nonprofit and commercial entities that see the promise of the collaboration once the space has been built.

It is important to recognize that the ultimate success of Quigley Farm will depend on each of the above, as each will represent a natural evolution and adaptation of the system as it moves from idea to functioning reality.

An essential component of the Quigley Foundation is collaboration with existing 501(c)(3) organizations. To encourage and foster these relationships the Founding Directors of the Quigley Foundation propose the following: An initial investment of $250,000. For this investment, each collaborator receives: 1. Representation on the Development and Design Team for the Core • Have a say in and determine Master Planning of the Core 2. Priority Membership/Access to the Core • Voice in determining use, calendar, et al. • Use of and access to all Core facilities, as needed 3. Ability to meet organizational needs in the Core • Fee-simple ownership of land to construct necessary facilities • Access to necessary shared facilities 4. ≥5 Years = Board Representation on Quigley Foundation • Voting member to determine/distribute Quigley Foundation funds • Voting member to determine use of Core, Commercial Spaces, and Open Spaces 5. Current “Intangibles” • Core Elements will be funded through the Quigley Foundation, not the collaborators, thereby greatly reducing fixed costs • Reduced fixed costs will enable organizations to focus financial resources and efforts on other programs • As a backbone organization, the Quigley Foundation is designed to coordinate, facilitate, and manage desired outcomes for the involved stakeholders, thus providing them additional support in fulfilling their missions • The Quigley Foundation is designed as an endowed program, the yield of which provides for staff compensation, freeing organizations to fundraise directly and entirely for programs, and to facilitate fundraising for collaborating organizations

18

The Quigley Foundation will be part of Phase 1 of Quigley Farm. An expectation of Founding Collaborators is that they will build during this time to help create an active and vibrant presence that will represent the essence of the overall community. Founding Supporter Package – For Profit Collaborators Central to the Quigley Foundation is providing a vibrant space in which nonprofit organizations thrive, where like-minded commercial interests grow and develop, and where a genuine neighborhood emerges. This is the concept of the Core. Beyond investors for Quigley Farm, the Quigley Foundation seeks individuals, businesses, and collaborators with a specific interest or expertise in the elements of the Core. An initial investment of at least $50,000. For this investment, each Supporter receives: 1. Representation on the Development and Design Team for the Core, specifically in the area of expertise 2. Access to the Core • Job training resources • Access to equipment for unique projects • Use of facilities • A space to share ideas, explore interests, and develop a sense of connection, through service, through education, and through a community-wide and accessible “store front” 3. Recognition for their support and commitment to developing a community resource dedicated to the vision and mission of the Quigley Foundation 4. Current “Intangibles” • Being a part of a founding vision that seeks to make real, transformative change • Providing direct support for a variety of nonprofit entities • Advocacy for the importance of their interests, specifically, and for the integration of those interests into a community, generally 19

Development Team

I N I T I AT I V E

David Hennessy – Hennessy Company Dave is a real estate professional with over 25 years of development and construction experience, having worked on all phases of projects totaling over $250 million in the Sun Valley and New York City areas. His project experience ranges from master planned developments to high end residential to recreational facilities to medical and institutional facilities.

The Quigley Initiative A Replicable Model

Hennessy Company is the overall development manager responsible for approval, development, and construction processes including design, entitlements, construction, and sales.

Quigley Farm is conceived as a functioning prototype of a new type of neighborhood development. It represents a template, a replicable model that can be duplicated in other communities and other environments. This is the Quigley Initiative, to spread these ideas.

Harry Weekes – The Sage School Harry is the founder, Head of School, and a teacher at The Sage School in Hailey, Idaho, an independent start-up school he founded five years ago. With over 20 years of teaching experience, he has spent his professional life in education, the nonprofit sector, and working on projects that connect students and people to the world around them. His experience includes designing a living science building, developing a program for students dedicated to humanitarian and ecological responsibility, and working with nonprofit organizations to pursue projects in social entrepreneurship and collective impact.

As with the Guiding Principles, replication is often based on a series of complex and interrelated factors. It is hard to dictate specific components, and better to provide a series of guidelines. The following guidelines present a general framework for the successful creation and implementation of high functioning collaboration.

Harry is responsible for the project concepts and design, for ensuring that the Guiding Principles direct the project, and for developing collaborations necessary for project success. Harry is also responsible for setting up the long-term governance system.

The Project should: • • • • • •

Meet genuine community need(s) Be based on a firm understanding of the social, economic, ecological, and cultural landscape of the area Be economically sustainable Look for collaborators that are already functioning well in the local environment Seek diversity in its collaborations where there are multiple stakeholders with overlapping needs and similar objectives Allow for self-organization and adaptation to evolve the best system

Quigley Farm is designed as a new system. Its success will come from addressing each of the above, as well as a balance of both patience and also perseverance. The spread of these ideas will require finding advocates for active change and working with the great body of open-minded people who are eager to be a part of a new model.
