JFC Additional Funding
The JFC has 2 primary funding pools for organizations, Supplemental and Capital Funding. Find out more about the rolling application process and guidelines, below.
Approval Schedule
The JFC meets weekly on Saturdays, but we review requests bi-monthly. On days where our GBM ends early, we also review requests on those days. See the calendar below for our F25 schedule:
*no meeting (note: 11/29 GBM will only occur if attendance requirements are met)
Organizations must submit their requests the Friday before a review occurs to be considered for review in that meeting.
The funding approval board seeks to meet between supplemental/capital review meetings, and GBMs. This means that the last possible time to submit a request for the fall or very early spring spending is November 21st. I will send another in November reminding student organizations of this.
Supplemental Funding
The JFC will hold a pool of supplemental funding that student government recognized organizations are eligible to apply for in order to cover gaps in funding for student organizations, pursue new ideas and opportunities, as well as participate in any earned opportunities. Supplemental funding items include anything that will be used within this academic year (expendableand perishable items, food, speaker costs, etc).
In order to ensure there are adequate supplemental funds available, the JFC will allocate supplemental funding on a regular basis through application to the JFC Supplemental Funding Board. Decisions on supplemental funding are made based on demonstrating a need above and beyond their current tier allocation and demonstrating that they have utilized their existing funding in alignment with their organization’s goals and as outlined through a set of JFC Spending Guidelines. Organizations must supply a budget for consideration, indicate to the audience that their request benefits, and are subject to an audit of their expenses by the JFC as a part of the supplemental funding process.
Capital Funding
Capital funding includes items that will last 3 years, such as costumes, sport bibs, cooking supplies, books, etc. The JFC will review requests for capital funding on at least a biweekly basis, starting the week after line item budgets are due in the fall. Decisions on capital funding are made based on a similar assessment of the request’s impact on the organization and campus as with supplemental funding, as recommended through the JFC Spending Guidelines.
