Clubs are not given any money at their creation nor is there an annual budget allotted to each club. All fundraising must be completed by the individual club.\nStudent Organization Funding through ASPLU Appropriations:\nStudent clubs may apply for funding from the ASPLU Appropriations committee. This money is typically allotted to clubs who are putting on programs that impact a greater community than the club. Your club must be registered and in good standing with the University. The ASPLU Appropriations Board will not fund the following items:\nReimbursements for past events\nFood items\nTraveling expenses\nAmbiguous or unspecified items\nThe ASPLU Appropriations Application can be found on the Clubs and Orgs website at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.plu.edu/clubs/finances/funding-sources/\" \u0014http://www.plu.edu/clubs/finances/funding-sources/\u0015\nFundraising Policy\nStudent clubs/organizations are permitted to sponsor fundraising activities. Only recognized and registered student clubs/organizations may sponsor a fundraising activity. There are three different types of fundraising activities: internal fundraisers, external fundraisers, and solicitations, donations, or in-kind contributions.\nStudent Involvement and Leadership must approve all fundraising activities sponsored by student organizations through completion and acceptance of an Event Planning Form. Fundraising activities must be consistent with the mission of PLU, and adhere to all local, state, and Federal laws and ordinances.\nInternal Fundraisers\nInternal fundraisers are defined as events sponsored to raise money for internal organizational use (e.g., operating expenses, organizational activities, etc.)\nContributions to internal fundraisers are not tax deductible. Student organizations may not rely on the university’s tax exempt status in organizing or operating such an event and shall in no way imply that the university is a sponsor of the event.\nThe net proceeds of the fundraiser are to be dedicated only to funding the organization’s activities that comport with the organization’s stated purpose(s).\nNo raffles, lotteries or sweepstakes may be held. An event involving all three of the following: (1) an entry fee (2) a prize (3) chance/luck, may fall under the legal definition of gaming, which is regulated by state law. Please contact Student Involvement and Leadership to determine if a proposed event would be considered a “raffle” or illegal gambling.\nFundraisers that promote the use and/or sale of alcohol (e.g., happy hours) will not be approved.\nFundraisers involving credit cards (e.g., credit card applications) will not be approved.\nAll fundraising plans must be submitted to Student Involvement and Leadership for approval at least two weeks prior to the fundraising activity by completing an Event Planning Form.\nExternal Fundraisers\nExternal fundraisers are defined as events sponsored to raise money for charitable, tax-exempt organizations external to the university.\nThe following policy allows recognized student organizations to use university facilities and sponsor events to raise money for another tax-exempt charitable, educational, or religious off-campus organization as defined under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3).\nThe proposed recipient must be an IRS-recognized 501 (c) (3) organization. A copy of the IRS determination letter verifying this status must be submitted with the Event Planning Form. All commercial or political activities or organizations as well as unorganized or unrecognized public groups irrespective of their avowed aims or purposes are strictly excluded as recipients.\nThe funds devoted to such purposes are to be confined to the net amounts realized from voluntary contributions made to such activity.\nContributions to external fundraisers must be made payable directly to the external charita","cbCaiuiJgmVa9KFZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuiJgmVa9KFZ","docx",141893,"English","# Student Organization Funding through ASPLU Appropriations\n## Disallowed Funding Items\n# Fundraising Policy\n## Student Approval and Compliance Requirements\n# Internal Fundraisers\n## Tax and Use of Proceeds\n## Prohibited Activities and Risks\n## Required Approval Timeline\n# External Fundraisers\n## Eligibility of Recipient Organizations\n## Payment and University Sponsorship Restrictions\n## Additional Approval Requirements\n# Solicitations, Donations or In-Kind Contributions\n## Purpose and When to Use","[{\"question\":\"Do student organizations receive money when they are created or get an annual budget?\",\"answer\":\"Recognized student organizations are not given money at creation and do not receive an annual budget allotted to each club.
