Eastern Oregon University Student Organization Fund Raising Policy

General Guidelines

All recognized student organizations must follow this procedure for any fundraising activities (cash, goods or services) on or off the campus. This policy complies with the Administrative Rules of the Oregon University System (OUS). The Authorization to Conduct Fundraising forms are available in the Student Activities Office.

1. Applications for fund raising activities by recognized student organizations should be completed and submitted four weeks prior to the event to insure that there is enough time to evaluated the request and to adequately plan and organize the event.
2. If an event is conducted with an outside vendor and they are to be compensated for services they provide (i.e. concert, lecture, etc.) a Personal Service Agreement (PSA) must be attached to the Fundraising Request Form (p.29). PSA's can be obtained in the Student Activities Office. Only the VP of Administration or their designee can sign contracts for the institution. Such contracts must cover the responsibilities of each party, prices of items to be sold, and the percentage of proceeds to each party.
3. An itemized revenue/expense projection must be submitted with the Authorization to Conduct Fundraising application.
4. The Director of Student Activities must approve all fundraising activities by student clubs and organizations.
5. Special events that include food sales must also be approved by the Director of Food Service and the Director of Student Activities.
6. If a group wishes to sell raffle tickets in a "public space" adjacent to another group's event (i.e., in the lobby of Quinn during a basketball game or the lobby of Loso during a symphony), the event manager for that event must be informed that these activities will be taking place. The group selling the raffle tickets must then reserve space, tables and chairs in the normal way through Facility Scheduling.

If a group wishes to sell raffle tickets inside the "reserved event space" (i.e. in the stands during a basketball game or inside McKenzie Theatre during a symphony) the event manager for that event must approve the activity within their "reserved event space." They need to sign-off on the fundraising form, acknowledging that they have approved the raffle activity to take place inside their "reserved event space."

Please see separate guidelines for raffles and pari-mutuels. More information is available in the Student Activities Office.

1. An itemized revenue/expense statement must be submitted to the Student Activities Office within 14 days after the event.
2. All profits must be deposited (on the first working day after the event) into the campus club account.
3. Clubs and organizations that fail to abide by the above procedures will lose university fund-raising privileges.
4. Please see separate guidelines for Raffles (p.30). More information is also available in the Student Activities Office.

 

Eastern Oregon University has adopted the following guidelines to be used by clubs when asking community support for their fund-raising events.

The Student Affairs Committee may approved solicitation of goods or services by student clubs and organizations either on or off the campus only if:

•  Contributions are in exchange for goods or services provided by the club or organization (e.g. car washes, bake sales, raffles)

Or

•  Contributions are for the direct support of an event or services offered by the club or organization open to participation by the entire campus community (e.g. Casino Night, Speel-Ya Pow Wow).

Clubs or organizations may also assist recognized charitable non-profit groups in solicitation activities (e.g. March of Dimes, Unicef, Red Cross) subject to the approval of the Student Affairs Committee.
