SORF FUNDING POLICIES
Below is a partial list of the SORF guidelines. Please review the SORF Operating Document for a complete list of guidelines, policies and how-to's related to SORF funding requests before you submit.
General Funding Guidelines
- Organizations can only request up to 80% of the total cost of an event or trip.
- The remaining 20% must be generated by the organization through other means, including:
Contribution of existing budget dollars
Fundraising
Financial co-sponsorship with other organizations - Organizations can only submit one application per eligible activity with a request totaling no more than $4,000.
- Organizations are only eligible to receive SORF funding up to three times per fiscal year and may not receive more than $7,000 in total SORF funds throughout a fiscal year (July-June).
- SORF funds cannot be donated to another entity (such as a charitable organization or political campaign).
- SORF funds cannot be directly used to purchase items that are being resold - funding a fundraiser.
- Admission to events can be collected at events funded by SORF.
- Clubs are eligible to apply for SORF. University-Affiliated Organizations, or UAOs, as well as Subordinate Bodies are not. These types of organizations are well-funded and well-resourced. Additionally, these groups do not have funds recaptured at the end of each fiscal year and therefore do not contribute to SORF resources; this includes any organizations within a subordinate body (i.e. NPHC chapters, club sports).
