Request For Selection for Non-Food Fundraising Permits

This form is for non-food fundraising only; for food related fundraising, use the University Fundraising Form (120KB PDF) instead.
















Non-Food Fundraising Permit Policy

The Policy

This policy is being established to balance the needs of Recognized Student Organizations to fund raise in the Centennial Student Union for legitimate organizational requirements and University contractual obligations. This policy is possible because of the agreement of University Dining Services and the Barnes & Noble University Bookstore. This policy and permit lottery only affects those Fundraising activities that are seeking a one–time exception to contractual rights that a vendor has with the University.

Who

The Director of the Centennial Student Union or designee shall only approve requests for Limited Fundraising Permits to Recognized Student Organizations and⁄or Student Activity Funded departments or organizations. The approved requests will then be entered into the permit lottery for allocation. The permits are granted for a specific organization for a specific Fundraising activity on a specific date. Changes can only be made with the prior approval of the Director of the Centennial Student Union or designee at least one (1) week in advance of the scheduled Fundraising activity.

Why

Requests for Limited Fundraising Permits will only be approved for an organizational Fundraising activity. No personal or non-organization Fundraising will be allowed. The funds raised must be deposited into a University account or other approved off-campus account within two (2) business days of the Fundraising activity. Proof of deposit will be required when making future requests for Limited Fundraising Permits.

What

The Director of the Centennial Student Union or designee must pre-approve the items for sale at the Fundraising activity. The items for sale and the Fundraising activity must conform to all State and University policies. Fundraising activities will not take place in front of Stomper′s or the Barnes & Noble University Bookstore.

How

Each semester Student Leadership Development & Service-Learning and the Centennial Student Union Board of Directors will administer a permit lottery for the initial allocation of one Limited Fundraising Permit per Recognized Student Organization or Student Activity Funded Department or Organization. Any remaining permits not allocated through the lottery can be allocated two weeks in advance of the request if space is available. The CSU staff shall administer this allocation process. A Recognized Student Organization can have a maximum of three (3) Limited Fundraising Permits per semester.

By submitting this request, I have read and understand the policy for Limited Fundraising Permits and that funds raised from this event will be used solely for legitimate organizational purposes. I also understand that this is just an application and submission does not constitute guaranteed acceptance.
