About Money Requests
As a registered student group, you have the opportunity to request money from student feesyour group's events. However, there are restrictions on how student fees may be spent.
How do I request money?
For most small requests, you may request money from the Inter-Club Council (ICC). ICC allows up to $50 per year for food parties. These parties are usually free pizza events to promote your group and find new members. ICC also allows for up to $400 per year for travel to conferences or other events. To receive ICC money, a representative of your group must attend all ICC meetings.
What if I want more money?
For larger requests, these requests would be sent to the Educational Activities Advisory Committee (EAAC). EAAC funds requests that ICC can't fulfill, and the yearly budgets for larger organizations. EAAC can fund large events such as dances, conferences, or guest speakers.
What can I spend the money on?
Because all student group funding comes from student fees that all students pay into, all events and programs must benefit or be accessible to the entire student body. In the case that student fee money is requested to send a representative to a conference or training, this person either must be in a position to use the experience to better serve the student body, or must present at an event open to everyone.
How do I get the money?
Money from ICC or EAAC is added to your group's account. Cash is never distributed to students. This money is accessed through reimbursements only, or by using your group's index code. Submit a Request for Action form to receive a check for money spent. The Request for Action form must have all expenditures explained, with receipts attached. If you are planning a large event, the purchases may be made directly from your group's account, but arrangements for these purchases must be made beforehand.
Can I request money from the other fee committees?
The Athletics Advisory Council (AAC) and Stevenson Union Advisory Council (SUAC) cannot hear requests from student groups. The Student Fee Committee (SFC) usually only hears yearly budgets from large groups and organizations, or adjustments to those groups. You may learn more about how fee committees work.
How do I hold a fundraiser?
If you want to sell goods or crafts to raise money for your group, you may do so. One of the people listed on the signature card for your club may pick up a cash box with change already in it for your sale. After the sale, the cash box is counted, and the profit made from the sale is added to your group's account. The sale profit is not given back as cash.
Tables in the Stevenson Union are available free to registered student groups. Due to certain university restrictions, it is recommended that you discuss your fundraiser with the Associate Director for Multicultural & Student Activities before your sale.
