Fundraising
Tim Schroer, Buntrock 147, x3017
As stated in the Student Handbook, all outside vendors must have a student organization sponsor in order to sell their products in the Buntrock Commons. If an organization is selling merchandise in the Commons through an outside vendor (i.e. sweaters, posters, jewelry), a contract must be arranged through Tim Schroer, the Director of the Buntrock Commons, ext. 3017. The contract will ensure a minimum of 15% profit to the student organization and should be arranged at least seven days in advance of the sale.
Fundraising (i.e. candy canes, baked goods, t-shirts) is allowed in the Commons. Tables must be reserved through Nancy Stuckmayer, Buntrock Commons Admin. Asst/Scheduling Coordinator, x3017.
**Fundraising tables cannot be set up during Homecoming and Family Weekend, Commencement Weekend, and the week of Christmas Festival.**
Fundraising can be as simple as membership dues. There will also be opportunities for orgs to fundraise on-campus occasionally throughout the year -- emails are sent to org members listed in the Student Org Database.
Babysitting for fundraising is NOT allowed on campus. The college does not have the appropriate insurance coverage for this activity. If, however, an org sends members to individual houses, that is acceptable.
NOTE: The College does not encourage organizations to solicit donations, in particular from parents and alumni. Contact the Annual Giving Office, ext 3354, for information on projects your group can do that would earn funds for your organization.
- If your organization receives a gift of $250.00 or more, the gift must processed through the College’s development system in order for the donor to be recognized as a donor and given a gift receipt.
