ACTION FUND INFORMATION

NOTE: Action Fund regulations have been revised, please real all information very carefully!

ALL ORGANIZATIONS MUST HAVE AN ON-CAMPUS ACCOUNT FOR ACTION FUND MONEY TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO IF PLANNING TO APPLY FOR FUNDING.

1.     Application Process

1.      Fill out the enclosed application very carefully.

2.      Return 7 copies of the packet by the appropriate deadline.

3.      Be specific with your request. It is imperative that the committee knows exactly where the money will go.

4.      Be reasonable in your request.

5.      Sign up for a hearing time (when you return your completed application).

6.      Attend the hearing.

-The interview setup:

  The room will be set up lecture-style. The presenter will stand and the Action Fund Commission will sit at a table close by. The interview will be open to the public and media.

-         1) The Presentation:

Give as much information as possible about your project and state exactly what the money will be used for.

-         2) Question and Answer:

Question and Answer session will consist of the committee asking questions to the presenter(s). Examples of questions that may be asked are: “How will this benefit ASU?”

       “How many members are in your organization?”

       “How much has the organization raised already for this event?”

       “Are other fundraisers planned?”

    “If partial funding is awarded, can this event still occur?”

The presentation and question/answer time will be approximately five minutes for each organization.

2. Appropriate and Inappropriate Requests:

Appropriate:

An ideal event is an event that will benefit the organization’s service, the student-body, and the university community.

            For example: Performers- Your organization may want to host a concert,     

                                  Speaker, or lecture for the campus.

            Refreshments- If your organization would like to hold an event open to 

                                    students.

These are only a few suggestions. If your organization has something that they would like to ask for, fill out an application.

Remember that the money must benefit the most students possible, not only your organization.

Inappropriate:

Items for personal benefit or use by an individual, alcohol, philanthropies, office supplies, trophies/awards, retroactive requests, to raise money, etc.

Due to the limited amount of money allotted by Action Fund at each hearing, total request may not always be funded; partial funding is always a possibility.

3. Posting of the Commission’s Decision

The results will be posted by 12 noon the next day outside the SGA Office.

4.     After Money is Allocated

Money allocated to each organization will be transferred electronically to their on-campus account. Proper paperwork (IDT and/or Requisitions) must be filled out to use the allocated money for the reason(s) specified by the Action Fund Commission. Such paperwork may be picked up from Tami Freeman, Accounting Tech, in the Student Union room 2011. She will assist each organization with their funds. Each form must be signed by an officer and the advisor of the organization. Your Organization MUST BE registered with the Student Leadership Center.
