Funding of club activities has become primarily the responsibility of Sport Club members. For a club to develop and thrive, the members must be active and willing to work. Clubs are encouraged to take advantage of every available option and avenue to assistance.

Some suggested methods of generating funds include auctions, bake sales, car washes, candy sales, dances, films, garage sales, selling T-shirts, spaghetti dinners, pancake breakfasts, rent-a-student services, exhibitions, tournaments, game programs, (walk-a-thons, swim-a-thons). All of these require some degree of planning and coordination to ensure positive results.

It must be noted that any on campus alcohol related functions can not be used as a fundraiser.

GUIDELINES:

-Center the fundraising activity on some specific event or goal.

-Choose a fund drive chair from the club, to direct and coordinate the effort.

-Assign specific tasks to committees

-Allow enough time for planning and advertisement.

-Avoid scheduling conflicts with other major campus or community events.

-Ensure that the event is well publicized.

-Reserve necessary facilities well in advance.

-Inform appropriate authorities. Get approval when necessary.

-Keep accurate records of all moneys received and spent.

REGISTRATION:

All fundraisers must be registered with the Sport Clubs Executive Council and/or Sport Clubs Director.

DONATIONS:
