Information on applying for SABC funds for next year

The Student Activity Budet Committee (SABC) is now considering requests for funds for the 2010-2011 academic year. In order to be considered for allocation, each student activity fee funded group, or group wishing to be funded for the first time, must submit a Budget Preparation Statement stating the overall purpose and objectives of the group, justification for funding of the group, budgetary explanations for the next fiscal year, and the latest computer printout of the current fiscal year budget (if currently receiving funds). Eight copies are required for submission to SABC.

Groups are encouraged to provide any comments or information that may assist the SABC in evaluating the budget request. However the following are specific questions that must be answered in the development of the budget preparation statement:

1. What is the purpose of the organization or activity?
2. What are the goals and objectives of the organization or activity?
3. What are the expected learning outcomes of the organization and how will student activity fees be used to support these outcomes?
4. How does the organization or activity support the educational purpose of Georgia College & State University?
5. How many students and others are involved in the services provided by the organization or activity?
6. What other sources of funding does the organization or activity receive?
7. How can additional budget expenditures be justified?
8. What services would be curtailed and/or deleted if the budget allocation were lower than this year’s level?
9. What additional services would be provided if additional funds were given?

In summary, the budget request should reflect all proposed expenditures for the next fiscal year and eight copies are required. Groups should indicate who prepared the budget request and obtain a faculty/staff adviser’s signature and eight copies of the latest computer printout of the budget should also be submitted if the organization is returning.
