- Signs for fundraising or community service project activities are allowed, but must be removed following the event.
- Continuing fundraisers such as the gradCLASS store, Mugs n鈥� More are exempt from this process.
- Organizations should consider whether the organization really needs to do a fundraising project. There should be a real need for raising funds based on the organization鈥檚 program/goals. Organizations should not engage in fundraising merely because someone has offered an attractive plan.
- If any contracts are to be signed, they must be signed by the 含羞草社区 VP of Finance and Administrative Services. An approved Student Organization Fundraising form should precede this step.

If the fundraising project requires the solicitation of in-kind (non-monetary) contributions, the student group must first consult with the 含羞草社区 Educational Foundation Executive Director to avoid duplication of solicitations. The 含羞草社区 Educational Foundation will review a list of prospective donors as provided by the student group and will offer approval or denial of such prospects as appropriate.
- Student organizations planning fundraising or community service project activities must ensure that the activity avoids competition with other student organizations, the 含羞草社区 Educational Foundation, and other authorized campus fundraisers.
