How to Fundraise

The club is required to submit a Fundraising Request (available on Engage) a minimum of 14 days prior to the fundraising event. Recognized clubs are the only student groups permitted to solicit monies on campus through the solicitation of donations, sponsorships, the charging of admission, or the selling of products or services.
