How to Request Funding Through IRC

1. Plan your program and set up a budget to assess how much you wish to request from IRC. If you are a Hall Council, fill out the Residence Council Drawing Fund Form. If multiple Hall Councils are putting on a program together, fill out the Hall Collaboration Form. The Wellness Drawing Fund is for groups to hold programs that are educational, humanitarian, or promote healthy living choices that are open to a large percentage of campus. All forms must be submitted with a typed rationale and exact price breakdown in order for the reading to be placed on the agenda. Forms can be downloaded from this website or picked up from the Student Association office, College Union Room 316.

2. Requests are due before 12 noon on Friday to go on to the agenda for the upcoming Monday. Any request turned in after that time will be treated as if it were for the following week.

3. If the amount requested from IRC is for $75.00 or less, it will go through a one reading process. If the request is for $75.01 or more, it becomes a two reading process, with the second reading occurring at the next business meeting. Please plan accordingly.

4. IRC typically funds 50% of a program’s budget due to limited resources. We encourage Hall Councils and other groups to look at many different forms of funding along with IRC (such as Geneseo Late Knight, CAS grants, etc). We cannot fund sales tax.

5. Drawing Fund Forms must be turned in to the Student Association office, College Union Room 316, to one of the following people by 12 noon Friday:

Nancy Chirico: Student Association Administrative Assistant

Kate Rebban: Student Association Director of Programs, Personnel, and Finances

Katelyn Conway: Inter-Residence Council Chair

Things to Remember When Placing a Request

· Requests must be turned in before 12 noon on Friday for it to appear on the following Monday’s agenda.

· The person who listed on the form as the Reading Presenter must attend the IRC meeting. If the Reading Presenter cannot attend, the Drawing Fund Form must be amended during Approval of the Agenda to reflect a new reading presenter. If not, the reading will either be tabled or failed.

· Any program that receives funding from IRC must have the IRC and Student Association (SA) logo on all means of publicity for the program. Additionally, electronic publicity must include the phrases “Supported by Mandatory Student Activities Fees” and “Supported by the Inter-Residence Council.” Logos can be obtained from this website or in stamp form in the SA office.

· Resident Assistants (RAs) cannot be the Reading Presenter for a program. They can be an Event Contact Person, but only if there is sufficient collaboration between the RA and Hall Council.

· If a program involves fundraising, approval must have been obtained prior to the meeting through the College Union Fundraising Form, as all campus fundraisers must be approved by the Director of College Union and Activities. (Forms may be obtained from College Union Room 321). Fundraisers should benefit legitimate charitable organizations. Hall Council budgets may not profit from an IRC sponsored fundraiser.

· If a program requires a contractual agreement, the contract must have been reviewed by the Student Association President prior to the reading being submitted. Once approved by the General Assembly, the contract must receive final approval by the SA President.

· A Hall Council in Bad Financing Standing cannot request funding from IRC.
