Chapter 5: Funding Guidelines & Opportunities
Student Organization Funding Sources
Primary Funding Sources
A primary funding board byline organization (composed of students partnering with a university advisor) serves as a primary funding source and governing body for a specific category of student organizations. Your funding source funds only expenses related to the organization's purpose as specified in its yearly registration. The funding source partners with Campus Activities in determining specific requirements to enable the organizations to function on campus. Requirements can be found here.
New for 2023-2024 - Automated allocations will be provided to each student organization based on spending caps/tiers. However, each primary funding board will also have an option for additional application-based funding. Additionally, each Primary Funding Board will have 1:1 consultants assigned to student organizations to assist with anything related to funding. Expand your primary funding board below to find a link to a list that will show you what consultant is assigned to your group.
Supplementary Funding Sources
A supplementary funding board byline organization (comprised of students partnering with a university advisor) serves as an additional funding source and programming body for qualifying student organizations and/or organizations that may fit within their mission—the funding source partners with Campus Activities in determining specific requirements to enable organizations to function on campus.
New for 2023-2024 - Automated allocations will be provided to each student organization associated with ALANA or HAVEN based on spending caps/tiers.
The rest of the supplementary funding sources are application-based funding.
Departmental Funding Sources
A departmental byline is an organization (comprised of students and/or staff) that is affiliated with a university department or unit. The department or unit manages the allocated SAF funds for a specific operational reason that directly and positively impacts the undergraduate student population. The byline partners with Campus Activities in determining specific requirements to enable the organizations to function on campus.
Some of the below funding sources may not be associated with the SAF and may come directly from a department or unit.
