Allocations Information Session 2010-2011
Why change the process? • Inflated requests • Difficult to add or change events throughout the year • We allocated $155,000 to orgs last year • $73,000 came back to SA from orgs last year
New “Allocations” Q&A • Is it true that organizations can’t be funded for meetings anymore? • No- there are several ways to apply for meeting funding under the new process. • Is it true that organizations can no longer use SA funds for philanthropy dinners? • No- that change was discussed, but not implemented. Philanthropy dinners are still fundable. • Is it true organizations have to pay out of pocket for expenses? • No-funding is available throughout the year.
Same • Charter update • Now on TUOrgSpace! • Grad and law orgs (more than 50% grad/law students) go to GSA and SBA, respectively • Mandatory info sessions* • They are now at the beginning of each semester, but only required once per year • Appeals process • What can be funded
Preliminary Allocations • Similar to “old” allocations • Once annually (beginning of year) • Subject to funding limits (now in FAC guidelines) • Can fund up to 7 events • No interview with FAC or Senate • $500 limit • There are more funding opportunities, though!
