Fundraising Policy

Student organizations may raise funds for their group’s University club account by following the guidelines indicated on the Fund Raiser Permit.

Since it is the responsibility of the Office of Development to work with area businesses and individuals to secure donations, sponsorships, products and gifts-in-kind for the University, student organizations may not approach any business or individual with a request for donations, sponsorships, services, products, or gifts-in-kind until a completed Fund Raiser Permit Form is submitted and approved.

Student groups failing to adhere to established fundraising guidelines will have the following sanctions imposed:

1st violation – all donations must be returned to the donors and the student group will be placed on warning status.

2nd violation – all donations must be returned to the donors and the student group will move to probation status.

3rd violation – all donations must be returned to the donors and the student group’s University Charter will be revoked for one year.

4th violation – all donations must be returned to the donors and the student group’s University Charter will be permanently revoked.

Please note: If monetary donations can not be returned to individual donors, the funds will be deposited to the Campus Programming Board account to be used in support of campus programming.
