Funding
AB allocates funds on a semester basis. AB members will email student organizations informing them of the deadlines to submit budget requests. During these hearings, we allocate all of our funds for the following semester. After we make our decisions, you will be able to see our funding decision on Org Sync. If you are not happy with our decision, please reach out to us via email or stop by one of our fall office hours. If you are not happy with our decision, please reach out to us via email or submit an appeal. If an appeal is not granted, please submit a Special Initiatives request.
***Every year we deny many funding requests because the item/event is ineligible for AB funding. It is very important that you look at our policies before creating a semester budget request so that you don’t request for something that is ineligible. Also, please provide as much detail as you can in the budget request. Writing a thorough budget request makes the difference between receiving funding and being denied. Thanks!
Key Funding Facts
Groups will only be awarded funds if they are in good financial standing.
AB now has a Special Initiative Program where student groups can request funds during the academic year for events that were unforeseen. You must explain in your request why this event could not have been anticipated, and provide a thorough account of the items requested.
Provide as much detail as possible in your semester budget requests. If you are requesting funds for food, you must explicitly state why the food is culturally significant or unique and how you will educate attendees at your event of the significance of your food.
AB will not publicly post all funding decisions for everyone to view as our decisions are also affected by need-based, involving student groups’ treasuries.
AB will take into consideration a group’s account balances and past year funding allocations (E.g. Costumes, props, etc.) when reviewing funding requests.
