To qualify for a CFC grant, your RSO must pay at least 10% of the total event costs. The calculator will help you figure out the minimum amount your group needs to contribute and the maximum amount you can ask from CFC.

You can contribute more than 10% if you want! Just show this in the budget below by selecting “No” in the ‘Want CFC to Cover this Item?’ column for those costs your RSO will pay.

Here are some common ways RSOs meet the 10% minimum:

• Agency Account Funds
• Member Dues
• Donations
• Departmental Funding
• Other Campus Grants

Create a profile on Submittable and complete the “2025-2026 Club Finance Council Application”.

Once your application passes the initial review, your RSO will be required to attend an intake meeting to review your application and make any modifications as needed. 

If the application is approved, the Center for Student Involvement Student Grants Manager will send a Finance Agreement indicating the approved award amounts and expenses. All 3 of your RSO officers will need to sign it within 5 calendar days.

Your Expenditure Report due date will be 10 calendar days after your event date. It’s also listed on your Finance Agreement.

Required Materials:

1. Write a statement of how CFC funding impacted your event.
2. Take 4-5 photos of your funded event or program
3. ALL receipts for purchases going towards your event.
4. If applicable:
