Fundraising for
Student Clubs, Organizations, and Athletic Teams |
| P-443.1 |
Recognized student clubs, organizations, and athletic teams
may conduct fundraising activities at the
College. |
| D-443.1.1 |
Fundraising is defined as sales, solicitations, or
promotions for any event or project designed to raise money
including any activity for which an admission is charged or for
which donations are received. Funds derived from the fundraising
activities may be used for charity, training, scholarships,
educational, or social events of the organization/team. College
funds, being those monies provided by the College (i.e., student
activities funds or athletic budget), may not be donated to
charitable, political, or religious
organizations. |
| Pr-443.1.1 |
All club, organization,
and athletic team fundraising activities are to be approved by
the Student Activities Coordinator or Athletic Director. The Student
Organization Fundraising Approval form must be completed two weeks
before an event in order to gain approval. When student clubs,
organizations, and athletic teams enter into collaborative projects
with College departments or other groups with the purpose of accepting
gifts or donations or for fundraising, they must contact the Foundation
Office for approval. |
| Pr-443.1.2 |
With
regard to student solicitations of community vendors, students
must provide a listing of all solicitation contacts made and provide
a list of gifts received to the Student Activities Coordinator/Athletic
Director. This list will include: date of donation, name of donor,
company name, address of donor, item, quantity,
and total
estimated
value.
The Student Activities Coordinator/Athletic Director will supply
the Vice President of Student Services and the Director of Foundation
and Alumni Relations with a
consolidated
listing
on a semi-annual basis for the purpose of donor
recognition. |
| Pr-443.1.3 |
All
non-college sponsors of events/activities must be approved through
the Foundation Office. A sponsor is a major corporation, business,
or individual solicited by a club or athletic team to underwrite
an event
and in return the sponsor's name/logo is used on event publicity
(i.e., advertising or programs). The Foundation Office will assess
if
any portion of sponsorship is tax deductible. A sketch of the design
for all publicity materials must be approved, prior to printing,
by the Student Activities Coordinator/Athletic Director, and the
Marketing and Communications Office. |
| Pr-443.1.4 |
Funds derived
from the fundraising activities should be used for charity, training,
scholarship, educational, or social events of the organization/team. |
| Pr-443.1.5 |
Recognized student
organizations that violate provisions of the fundraising procedures
risk loss of privileges associated with College recognition, up
to and including suspension of recognition. The Vice President
for Student Services may impose these penalties. |
