fundraising: 

All activities approved by an organization involving the collection of money are defined as fundraising activities.

The following procedures are to be utilized by all organizations for fundraising activities:

1)     Student organizations must file a Request for a Fundraising Form, through Collegiatelink, with the Office of Student Life at least 15 days prior to the proposed fundraising activity.  Please note that if you are requesting to utilize any area outside of the Morrill/Jennings Breezeway, a Facility Usage Form must be completed and accompany the Fundraising Form.

2)     All money collected through the fundraising activity must be deposited in the organization's fundraising account (815) within twenty-four (24) hours after the collection of the funds. The pink deposit slip must be brought from the Bursar's Office to the Office of Student Life within 3 days of the fundraising activity.

3)   Organizations must submit a Fundraising Financial Report through Collegiatelink within 3 school days after the fundraiser is held.  This is for auditing purposes.

4)    No expenditures are to be made from cash collected. 
 

5)     Organizations are not encouraged to accept personal checks as payment for goods and services. The sponsoring organization will assume full responsibility if a loss is incurred due to checks being returned to the university for insufficient funds. *In the event a check is accepted- it must be made out to Southern Connecticut State University, not the organization, in order to be processed.*

For more information on Fundraising, please see page 74 in our University Student Handbook, or take a look at our POWERPOINT PRESENTATION. 

To be sure that the date you are requesting is available please see the calendar in the Office of Student Life or view the online version.

 

*Please Note: Failure to complete all paperwork regarding fundraisers will result in a financial hold on your organization's account.  Your organization will not be permitted to hold future fundraisers until all paperwork is resolved.*

 

Cancelling Your Fundraiser:

If you wish to cancel your fundraiser, please email Kristina Santoro, Graduate Intern, at santorok3@owls.southernct.edu, as soon as possible so that your account is not placed on hold and other organizations have the opportunity to fundraise.

 

Reserving Space for a Fundraiser:


Fundraisers are allowed in the following locations: Morrill/Jennings Breezeway, Engleman Rotunda, Adanti Student Center Tables on the Street Level and Plaza Level, Davis Hall, Outside of Buley Library, and the Earl Hall Overhang.


Adanti Student Center- If your club/organization would like to book a fundraiser in the Adanti Student Center, a request must be made to the Adanti Student Center Main Office (ASC325D). In order to fundraise in the Adanti Student Center, you must receive an approval from both the Adanti Student Center (for the space) and the Office of Student Life (authorizing the fundraiser). When seeking approval from the Main Office you MUST BRING A COPY OF THE COLLEGIATELINK CONFIRMATION along with the Facility Usage Form. Please remember to note the specific location you would like to hold your fundraiser.


Morrill/Jennings Breezeway- If your club/organization would like to book a fundraiser for the Morrill/Jennings Breezeway, the Fundraising Request Form submitted to the Office of Student Life will suffice as your space reservation as well.


Other Campus Locations- If your club/organization would like to book a fundraiser at any other campus location; a request must be made using a Facility Usage Form and submitted to the Lyman Center (LY116).  In order to fundraise at these locations, you must receive an approval from both the Facility Usage Committee (for the location) and The Office of Student Life (to authorize the fundraiser).


Any additional supplies needed for fundraisers (tables, chairs, etc...) must be arranged with through either the facility administrator OR directly through Facilities Operations.
