While supported by Student Activities, the success of student organizations depends primarily on the student leaders and members of each organization. Student organizations have the unique challenge of funding the majority of their activities through membership dues, fundraisers, and generous donations from outside supporters. 

Average costs associated with student organizations include resources for hosting significant campus events, member development, travel costs for out-of-town conferences, and official organization t-shirts. Organizations engage in fundraising activities throughout the year to offset the increasing costs associated with being active and successful on campus.  

Apply for Student Government Association Funding

The Student Government Association (SGA) provides limited funding for student organizations. This funding should directly support an organization's purpose or mission. The application is currently closed. 

 Note: This must be filled out at least two weeks (14 days) before the event or program. 

Student Government Senate will vote to grant your organization funding at the weekly Senate meetings. You will then receive communication from the Student Government Chief Financial Officer outlining the steps to secure your reimbursement. 

If you have questions, contact Student Government Chief Financial Officer gdinapol [at] stedwards.edu ?subject=Student%20Organization%20Funding">Giovanni Dinapoli. 

Donate to a Student Organization

You may contribute to a student organization. To donate to a specific organization, click "Student Organization Designations" on the second page, or fill in the organization's name in the space provided.

Solicit Donations

If you would like to solicit donations from businesses, you must provide a list of those businesses to Student Activities. The list will be submitted to University Advancement for approval, and you will be notified of their decision. Our university fundraising efforts must be coordinated to ensure we do not overburden a single person or entity.

If your student organization is planning an event or travel, the information below will help navigate you through the process.
