The FFA Enrichment Center is open and welcome to the general public. However, the primary purpose of the FFA Enrichment Center is to help the Iowa FFA Foundation fulfill the education and development needs of the Iowa FFA Association, Iowa Association of Agricultural Educators (IAAE), Professional Agricultural Students of Iowa (PAS), Iowa FFA Alumni, and DMACC Agricultural Programs. Scheduling preference is given to these aforementioned associations, their key business and industry supporters and like-minded organizations sharing similar mission and values.
Eligibility for Use:
In addition to the previously mentioned primary users, the space and services are available to support official functions of, but not limited to contract training programs, other local, state and federal governmental agencies, educational institutions, career and technical education organizations and agribusiness. Reservations for training and business purposes will take top priority. Reservations for wedding receptions or other large celebrations are allowed within the facility. The FFA Enrichment Center reserves the right to deny use of the facility to organizations that hold values opposed to those of the Iowa FFA Foundation.
Hours:
Regular office hours of operation are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm with extended hours from 6:00 am to midnight (based on event schedule) to accommodate rental clients. Event reservations can be made during office hours. Exceptions to set hours require approval by the FFA Enrichment Center.

Any event requiring a holiday reservation will be charged a fee 1.5 times the normal rental rates to pay for the additional costs of being open on a holiday, to include custodial services, utilities, Enrichment Center staff and any other additional costs that may pertain to a holiday reservation.
Fees:
The Iowa FFA Foundation and the FFA Enrichment Center Committee reviews recommendations annually from the staff and recommends any change in rates they believe are prudent business practice.

Once approved, updated rates will be included in this document annually as Attachment A. Any deviation from these rates will require written approval by the Executive Director.
Bids:
To be able to attract and secure events, occasionally package bids will need developed. These bids will conform to standard posted rates and all policies of the FFA Enrichment Center. Rates approved by the Iowa FFA Foundation FFA Enrichment Center Committee and Board of Directors represent the maximum rate for an event. Deviation from these approved rates can occur for the competitive bid of an event, but require the written approval of the Executive Director.
Event Reservations/Scheduling Priorities:
To reserve space and/or services, contact FFA Enrichment Center staff by phone, e-mail or by stopping by the FFA Enrichment Center office. After a space/service request is received, staff will check availability for the preferred dates. If space is available, it will be put on a temporary hold for two weeks to allow time for a Rental Agreement to be processed accordingly.
Before rooms or services can be guaranteed, a Rental Agreement (including proper authorization, specific billing and key-contact information) must be completed and signed by the client. The Rental Agreement and a security deposit must be completed and returned to FFA Enrichment Center staff within 14 business days to officially reserve the rental space. If the Rental Agreement is not finalized within this period, the temporary space may be released and made available to others (see contract for date details).
The FFA Enrichment Center will have first right of refusal to schedule events in the shared and common space on the first floor of the FFA Enrichment Center. Requests from Team Ag. Ed. Partners (FFA, IAAE, PAS and Alumni) are eligible to be booked as far in advance as known. DMACC will have the ability to schedule classes and conferences up to a year in advance around the FFA/Ag Ed calendar. Requests from groups outside of Iowa Team Ag Ed and DMACC may reserve space up to one year from the event date. If additional advance booking is required by non-Team Ag. Ed. groups or individuals, the following guidelines are required.
1. Large Celebrations/Wedding may only book a maximum of 18 months in advance of their date

Discounts:
The FFA Enrichment Center offers limited discounts on room rental rates only. There are not discounts offered on any items other than room rental rates (i.e. ala carte items, staging, etc). The chart below illustrates room rental discounts.
Discounts: Group(s)
10% Non-Profit Groups
10% Educational Groups
40% Team Ag.Ed.
40% DMACC sponsored/hosted event
100% DMACC event
100% FFA Foundation event
100% Team Ag.Ed. – Meetings
Discount Eligibility:
To be eligible to receive a discount the following criteria must be fully met. Any event may only qualify for one discount – discounts cannot be grouped together (for example a non-profit educational group would at most receive one (1) 20 percent discount, not two (2) or 40 percent).
Non-Profit:
All organizations who have been given “Non-Profit Exempt” status by the United States IRS will be eligible to receive the Non-Profit Discount. Those seeking this discount must present a copy of their IRS tax determination letter to FFA Enrichment Center staff prior to signing the final rental agreement. The tax determination letter will be kept on file for future events with this organization.
Educational Group:
To receive the educational group discount, the renter must be representing a Public or Private College or University, Community College or public/parochial school district. A federal W9 form representing this organization will be required and all invoices for any rental events will be directed to this designated educational institution.
Team Ag.Ed. Events and Meetings:
Only available to Iowa FFA Alumni Association, Iowa FFA Association, Iowa Association of Agricultural Educators and Iowa PAS organizations. When a registration fee is charged for an event, the event will be charged at the 60 percent rate (40% discount). When a registration fee is not changed (i.e. Board meetings, etc.) the event will receive a 100 percent discount for room rental fees.
DMACC sponsored/hosted events:
DMACC President at his/her sole discretion is able to pre-approve events to receive a discount of up to 40 percent. When this discount is approved, FFA retains 100 percent of the rental fee and does not provide the 60/40 revenue split to DMACC. The DMACC President is waiving their invoice percentage.
DMACC events:
As part of the agreed upon lease for the land the FFA Enrichment Center was constructed, DMACC is able to hold internal events for DMACC within the common space of the FFA Enrichment Center. These events are only for DMACC; organizations partnering with DMACC will not be eligible for this discount but would remain eligible for the 40 percent discount provided as a DMACC Sponsored/Hosted Event.
Iowa FFA Foundation events:
All events hosted by the Iowa FFA Foundation and/or FFA Enrichment Center will be reserved at the 100 percent discounted rate. Any deviation from this would require artificial inflation of both Foundation expenses and revenue – which is not in congruence with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of the United States, which the Iowa FFA Foundation fully adopts.
Security Deposits:
Security deposits are required for all non-corporate events held at the FFA Enrichment Center. The security deposit payment is required when the Rental Agreement (Contract) is returned to the FFA Enrichment Center Events Coordinator. If the security deposit is not paid with the return of the Rental Agreement, the temporary space will be held for a maximum of five (5) additional business days. If the security deposit has not been submitted after these five (5) business days, the space hold will be released and made available to others.
Security deposits will be $250 or $750 depending on event. Security deposits are payable to the FFA Enrichment Center. Accepted methods of payment are cash, check, money order, cashier’s check, MasterCard, Visa or Discover.
