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.

Specific 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
any events occurring outside of the greater Boston area. Each group is eligible
for travel sponsorship twice a year. Requests should be made using the
AB database starting at 9 am on April 13th, 2009 for all events
occurring during the Fall semester. Requests for funding for travel events
occurring during Spring 2010 may be submitted beginning 9 am on the first day
of classes in September. 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 funding request, 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!
