Purpose of Guidelines<\/h3>\n

These guidelines have been established to assist students in fundraising activities for their organization and to ensure proper controls and processes are in place for funds directed to a student organization.<\/p>\n

Intent<\/h3>\n

It is the College\u2019s intent that fundraising by student organizations do not detract from other fundraising campaigns that occur on behalf of the College.<\/p>\n

All fundraising activities should provide information on how the funds will be used and should be for the benefit of the organization soliciting the request or a non-profit beneficiary aligned with the organization\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

Approval<\/h3>\n

All fundraising activities (cash, goods, or services) for registered student organizations need to be approved by the Office of Student Activities. Information regarding holding a successful fundraiser can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Financial Processes<\/h3>\n

Accurate financial records must be kept for all fundraising activities. If an organization receives financial donations, or gifts in-kind, they must be deposited to the Business Office within five business days of the conclusion of the campaign. A Business Office Deposit Form<\/a> should accompany each deposit. All donors making an individual gift of $250 or greater should be separately identified in order for them to receive a gift receipt from the College. The Business Office is responsible for sending this information to Advancement Services.<\/p>\n

All financial activity should be done through a College bank account. If an organization wishes to receive funds electronically, the Office of Student Activities will provide instructions after the Fundraiser Request Form has been completed. A personal bank account should not be used for any student organization fundraising activities.<\/p>\n

Compliance<\/h3>\n

Organizations which conduct fundraising activities must comply with all College policies and applicable governmental regulations.<\/p>\n

Failure to obtain approval or to follow the guidelines listed above will result in the loss of an organization\u2019s fundraising privileges for the remainder of the academic year.<\/p>\n
