All club budgets are overseen by the Clubs and Finance Committee (C&F) of Student Government and managed through the Club Accounting Books on CampusGroups. Due to the finite amount of funding generated from the Student Activity Fee, the funding policies are designed to maintain equity across all clubs at SOM.
$1,000 granted to clubs at the start of each school year. The pre-approved funding amount will be revaluated by the C&F committee and adjusted at the beginning of each academic year.
Additional funds allocated to clubs from the Clubs & Finance Committee on a request-by-request basis.
Funds generated separately by clubs through corporate sponsorship, membership dues, event registration fees, etc.
