Each year, the Student Activities Budget Committee has the task of divvying up available funds to each of the RSOs that apply for funding.
The money is allocated to SABC by the Board of Regents after SABC makes a recommendation to the Board.
Last year SABC allocated $321,048 among 25 organizations.
The ability for RSOs to be funded by SABC gives them the opportunity to have access to money that is often put to excellent use throughout the campus and Milledgeville community.
Some of the stipulations for these entities to receive funding from SABC is to identify what the goals and purposes of the organization are as well as what it does to benefit the campus community.
After all, the main purpose of campus activities is to provide students with an opportunity to grow as people. What better way than by serving the community?
GCSU students are constantly helping this community through activites such as Relay for Life, The Big Read, volunteer programs through the GIVE Center and several other things.
As we continue to see the economy struggle in these tought times, it is essential that groups of GCSU students continue to volunteer and help out within the community. SABC funding is an integral part of that.
It cannot be easy to decide who gets what funding, especially in hard times. Appreciate the people who work hard to determine the allocations.
