1. Fundraising activities on campus must be done under university auspices.
2. Each authorized club, organization and class may conduct one fundraising activity per semester.
3. The Treasurer of the Student Government Association, in conjunction with the Graduate Assistant for Student Activities and Leadership Development, must approve all fundraising activities.
4. The Development Office must approve any solicitation of and off-campus business.
5. The University Bookstore has the exclusive right to sell all items bearing the University Seal or Monogram.

1. Plan in advance. Develop a strategic plan for the group, including fundraising activities and target dates for fundraisers.
2. When deciding on a fundraiser keep the following in mind:
   1. is group interest in the activity high?
   2. is the time commitment clear and agreed upon?
   3. what special talents and connections do your group members have?
   4. what resources and facilities are available?
   5. determine the potential profits from the event (project the income to be generated minus the cost of the event)
   6. don´t over price or offer something no one wants
   7. is there enough time to properly organize the event
3. Delegate responsibility to all members so that everyone can be involved.
4. Do a dry run of the event before it happens.
5. Publicize! There is no easier way to not make money at a fundraiser then to hold one that no one knows about. Be visible and let people know for what, when and where you will be fundraising.
6. Evaluate! What worked? What didn´t? How could it have been better? Make sure to keep a record of all suggestions, so that next year you don´t have to reinvent the wheel.

Sales: T-shirt, baked goods, pins, posters, raffles, sub sales, candy bars and anything else you think people might buy. Sales require that you put out the money first to make a profit later, so don´t buy so much that you can´t make a profit!

A-Thons: Write-a-thons, dance-a-thons, rock-a-thons, skate-a-thons, walk-a-thons, and the list goes on and on, require a little more planning, but can be very profitable. Instead of chasing around pledges after the event, try to get pledges in advance. Either ask for a block pledge ($10.00 for the event) or agree to a set number of dances or miles….and ask for payment up front.

Money-Making Meals: Pancake Breakfasts, Taco Dinners, these are easy and can really raise funds for the organization. Bake sales, sub and candy work well too. Another cool idea is to buy fortune cookies stuff them with fortunes that contain information about your organization and sell them.

Jail and Bail: Gather a list of your organization members and faculty or staff who agree to be arrested. Then people can donate money to any of the people that were arrested. After arrested the person must agree to match the amount of pledges which got them arrested, or donate time to the organization to help with other things.

Exam Breaks: Hold an exam break. The organization supplies food or a relaxing atmosphere, maybe toys or games like playdough, slinkies, gameboy, checkers or coloring books for students to get away from studying for a while. Charge a small admission fee. Consider selling exam care packages.

Holidays: Candy Grams & Flower Grams are a nice way to raise money. Choose a holiday or special event and create a message gram that fits the theme. Charge a $1.00 or $2.00 and send the gram to the person it is bought for.
