Introduction

With over 200 Student Organizations at San Diego State University, it is not possible to fully fund each through Associated Students. Recognizing this, and the importance of Student Organizations to Student Life, the Finance Board of Associated Students has compiled the following resource guide to assist you and your organization with its fundraising needs.

If you have further questions after reading this guide, feel free to contact the Vice President of Finance: as.vp.fin@sdsu.edu, or 619/ 594 7260

Fundraisers

Once your group has decided to raise funds, it is necessary to decide what type of fundraiser best fits your group. Compiled below are various fundraising ideas, grouped into three distinct categories: Service, Community Partnership, and Resale. Service-oriented fundraisers will focus on labor-intensive activities that are generally lucrative and reliable. Community Partnership fundraisers will focus on restaurants and other businesses that offer percentage programs to student organizations that wish to sponsor an event at a particular location. Resale fundraisers will focus on programs that involve a product, donated or otherwise legitimately obtained, that is sold for a profit.

   Advisor and authorize signers
   1. Name & Title
