UMSG has financial policies or rules we must follow when approving funding requests. Referencing the above documents will inform your group of what we can provide funds for. These are only “Cheat Sheets” or paraphrases of the financial policy. To see the entire financial policy, visit the Financial Affairs Office, Room 150A, Memorial Union. This is only a guideline to help clubs receive money; some items are subject to change on a case-by-case basis. Please do not abuse these policies. There are policies in place to punish groups who violate them.
The above documents are annotated copies of the request forms. These are great resources to use as examples when filling out your group’s request. If you have any questions on how to fill out the particulars of the form, please look over these example requests.
These are the physical forms that your group must fill out to be considered eligible for funding. Office Budgets are intended for start-up supplies, such as paper, advertising expenses, and more. Additional Funding requests are for on-campus events, such as guest speakers, food, and more. Finally, Additional Funding requests with travel are for off-campus events. Please fill out these forms in their entirety before submitting. To be considered for each Monday’s EBC, please submit in person to Pam Alden in room 150A in the Memorial Union by 12pm on Friday.
