Funding Options

Registered student organizations are able to get funding for their activities and operations from a variety of sources. Each source sets its own restrictions on and processes for funding so please review the "Main Funding Sources" table below to find out which type of funding source your group is able to apply for.

Recommended Cash and Inventory Procedures
Cash handling and inventory control are two high-risk areas for any organization. Student organizations are no exception. As such, the following guidelines have been developed to assist student leaders with establishing controls to reduce the risk associated with cash handling and inventory.

A book of additional funding sources and possible vendors to sponsor is available at the Student Organization Resource Center office on the 3rd floor of the Memorial Union.

Note: Bake sales and raffles have several restrictions by ASU and the State of Arizona, respectively. It is recommended that your group avoid these types of fundraisers.

Additional Funding Options

There are a variety of fundraisers available to your organization, from working at special events to sales on the mall. A fundraising binder is available for review at SORC.
