How to Receive Funding
Once an organization has been chartered, it is now eligible to receive
funding. There are four main funding resources on campus: Campus Council,
the Wooster Volunteer Network, Club Sports Council and the Student Government
Association.
Campus Council Budget Guidelines
Campus Council is responsible for the distribution each year of the
funds allocated to it by the College. Any chartered organization, except
for the athletic or academic organizations (which includes pre-professional
clubs), is eligible to apply for funding unless stipulated otherwise
in the organization's charter. Organizations may apply for Campus Council
funding in the Spring Semester if they are chartered by the end of the
tenth full week of Fall Semester. Campus Council's funding process,
which occurs in the late spring for the following academic year, consists
of a written proposal as well as an oral presentation. Campus Council
generally funds major organizations responsible for campus-wide programs
and services. Submitting a request for funding does not guarantee funding.
To obtain a copy of the Campus Council Budget Guidelines or for more
information concerning the funding process, contact the Treasurer's
Office (x2018) or Patrick Bourke, Chair of Campus Council.
Wooster Volunteer Network (WVN) Fund Request Guidelines
The Wooster Volunteer Network provides funds to organizations chartered
through WVN. Funding requests are taken each semester. A copy of the
funding guidelines can be obtained from the Treasurer of WVN. Questions
regarding WVN funding should be directed to the Chair of WVN at (x2563).
Club Sports Council Fund Request Guidelines
Chartered club sports organizations may apply to Club Sports Council
for funding. Funding may support the acquisition of equipment, supplies
for the sport, entry fees to competitive events, and travel to these
events. Members of club sports organizations are expected to contribute
funds to other costs, if the Club Sports Council funding is not sufficient.
Questions regarding Club Sports Council funding should be directed to
the Chair of Campus Council.
Student Government Association (SGA) Fund Request Guidelines
SGA provides funding for chartered student organizations. Funds are
allocated to each organization according to its assessment of the relative
merits of the organizations. Submitting a request for funding does not
guarantee that your organization will receive funding. The funding process
consists of the following steps: 1) filling out a funding request form,
and 2) sending a representative(s) to an interview with the Funding
Allocation Committee of SGA. These two stipulations must be met for
the organization to be considered for funding. SGA will not support
any activity that discriminates in any manner on the basis of gender,
religious affiliation, citizenship, race, sexual orientation or political
affiliation. Questions regarding the SGA funding process or to receive
a copy of the SGA Funding Guidelines, please contact the SGA Treasurer
or SGA President at (x2773).
