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 S26 schedule:
*no meeting
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 the same day as supplemental/capital review meetings, and GBMs. This means that the last possible time to submit a request for the academic year is April 25.
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 . 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.
Funds approved through a supplemental request are not immediately deposited into your organization’s account. Instead, expenses are reimbursed after the money is spent. Because supplemental funding operates strictly on a reimbursement basis, any unused portion of the approved amount is not retained by the organization. The JFC Vice Chair will communicate with an organization how this process works after their request has been approved.
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.
