Student Organization Funding

We will be piloting a new funding processing for the 2009-2010school year. Funding will be allocated in three categories: Operating Funds and Programming Funds.

Operating Funds

Operating Funds are funds that are used to run the everyday life of your organization. Operating Funds are allocated each semester by the Finance Board of the Student Government Association. To apply for Operating Funds, student organizations must complete an Operating Funds application by the third Tuesday in September or the third Tuesday in January.

Recruitment Funds

Recruitment Funds are funds that are used to help the vitality of your organization by recruiting new members. Recruitment Funds are allocated each semester by the Finance Board. To apply for Recruitment Funds, students organizations must complete a Recruitment Funds application by the third Tuesday in September or the third Tuesday in January.

Programming Funds

Event Programming Funds are funds that provide financial assistance to special events and programs hosted by chartered student organizations. Event Programming Funds are allocated monthly by the Finance Board of the Student Government Association. To apply for Event Programming Funds:

  1. Submit an Event Programming Fund request form online or to the Student Government office in the Frazier Health Center by the first Tuesday of the month prior to the month in which the event is taking place.
  2. The Finance Board will meet and review funding requests and allocate funding by the following SGA meeting.
  3. Approved amount will be transferred into the organization's account within a week after the Finance Board's decision.
  4. Within 30 days of the event, an Event Evaluation form must be submitted to the Office of Student Organizations.

 

Expense Reports

If you receive a Cash Advance, your organization must account for how allocated funds were spent.  Do so with the Expense Report - you must attach receipts of everything you purchased with the allocated funds. Receipts must be turned in within 2 weeks of purchase.

If an organization purchases items that do not fall within the funding Guidelines, this amount will be subtracted from the total possible amount for either the following Operating Funds or Event Programming Funds.
