This the updated procedure for the SGC Fall Funding Process, including new rules, timeline and meeting logistics. 

The Fall Funding Process is SGC’s way to counter the delay in funding at the beginning of the fall semester as the Appropriations Committee does not begin meeting until October. Organizations submit budgets for the fall semester during this time to get funding for their programs, trips and operational expenses for Block I, August 24th - October 9th, 2020. 

With circumstances as they are, the following changes haven’t been officially approved but the Appropriations Committee would like organizations to have the opportunity to request funding for them.   

 Below are options for funding requests:  

General Rules: 

• The Standardized Price List is optional and a recommended list of products/locations.  

Travel Budget Rules: 

• Student organizations may request funding for ALL fall semester travel. 
• Student organizations may request funding for parking and tolls while requesting funding for travel expenses. 

Operational Budget Rules: 

• Student organizations may request funding for the purchase of t-shirts if it aligns with the mission of your organization (this must be proven during the presentation).  

Student organizations may request funding for tipping and delivery fees for food purchases.
