Allocations
Board Funding Handbook
The
Allocations Board Handbook contains information and instructions regarding
requesting funding and accessing funds. It is also intended to:
- Clarify
the AB funding process
- Provide
reasoning behind the Board’s decisions
- Aide
Treasurers while dealing the AB
- Present
all of the AB’s functions in one comprehensive document
While
Treasurers are not expected to memorize the Handbook, they should be
well-acquainted with it before submitting funding requests. The
latest version of the Handbook is the version posted on this webpage.

Types of Funding
OTS
(On-The-Spot) Funding is funding available for when groups have an
emergency or unforeseen event. Groups are permitted two OTS
Funding requests per funding period.
The Travel Fund is for those
groups seeking funding for a conference, competition, or retreat. Each group
is eligible for travel sponsorship once a year. Requests must be submitted
at least two months prior to the event date. Guidelines for the Travel Fund
can be downloaded below.

Tips
- Please
estimate the date/time, location, and costs for the program, even if you
are unsure. You can always change your dates or shift around costs with
a reallocation.
- List
down all the costs you have on the program packet, even if you are not
requesting funds to cover those costs.
- Reservations
generally need to be a week in advance. Don’t wait to do reservations
last minute because others are competing for the same rooms.
- We
generally will not fund advertisement costs, and will instead refer
groups to use the Program Help Fund. However, if you are spending more
than $100 for advertisements during the semester, please denote that you
require more funds and list the breakdown in the additional comments
box. This guideline also applies for other costs not adequately covered
by the Program Help Fund.
- Please
list equipment and where you will store it. Storage space is vital to
purchasing equipment. If it is an equipment request, list your daily
meeting times so you can withdraw it as needed.
- Please
tell us if you have credentials pending due to unforeseen circumstances.
We need credentials for any paid speaker, performer, or DJ, and will cut
or deny the program without credentials.
- The
PO always takes 1 week to process. If you need it faster, use a Quickie
PO, but those are in short supply. There are only 15 each day and one
group can only take 2 of those per day. There are no Quickie PO’s in
the summer.
- You
may not use funds across funding periods unless the reallocation is
approved by the Board.
- Keep
checking the main website for important information!
