Fundraising Activities
Only College-recognized organizations may conduct fundraising projects. Such organizations may sell consumable goods on campus, if they are prepared in accordance with health department regulations, as well as non-consumable goods or services in order to raise funds for the support of activities, provided that this provision shall not be construed to allow the raising of funds for the support of activities or causes unrelated to the local College community, unless expressly authorized by the President, or his or her designated representative. In the event that any controversy arises over whether a particular project is designed to raise funds for activities or causes unrelated to the local College community, or whether any item is improper for sale, the President, or his or her designated representative, shall resolve the controversy.
Any organization desiring to conduct a fundraising project on campus shall submit a written request describing the project to the appropriate Office of Student Engagement and Leadership on the form available from that office at least two weeks prior to the time that the organization desires to conduct the project. The completed form shall contain the signature of the organization’s president and advisor, if applicable, when submitted to the appropriate Office of Student Engagement and Leadership for consideration. The activity may commence only after approval by the appropriate dean or his or her designated representative.
Solicitation of donations, directly or indirectly, for support of any cause shall not be permitted on campus unless written permission from the President, or his or her designated representative, is first obtained.
This provision shall not be construed to allow the sale of printed matter as a fund raising project. The sale of printed matter on campus is not permitted except within the operation of the College bookstores.
Fundraising projects must not conflict with other scheduled projects or programs and must be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
