Binghamton University is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal
access to its programs, facilities, and employment with regard to race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance
status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. Grants will be awarded only to programs
that adhere to this policy.
Grant initiatives can be used to fund no more than 75% of the total budget for an
event/initiative. Student must provide a minimum of 25% of the total budget through
other funding sources, such as fundraising efforts, membership dues, etc.
If the anticipated budget changes prior to the event/initiative, the student group
is responsible for sending an email notification to jkeegin@binghamton.edu. The grant award amount will be reviewed to determine if the amount is still appropriate
or if the grant award amount needs to be adjusted to ensure the grant award is not
exceeding 75% of the total budget.
If the final budget of the event/initiative changes, the student group is responsibility
for addressing the change with the Associate Director for Campus Activities at the
post-event meeting. If the grant award amount exceeds 75% of the total budget, the
student group will be required to return the overage.
Funding will not be awarded for stipends for any Binghamton University student, faculty
or staff member.
Events at which alcohol is available will not be considered for funding.
Funding is not intended for start-up or general operating costs.
Recurring initiatives must show demonstration of improvement in order to be eligible
for grant funding.
Events held as fundraisers for the purpose of generating revenue for a student group
or philanthropic cause are not eligible for funding.
Funded programs must acknowledge the grant and associated logos in all advertising
and publications for the event.
Partisan political organizations (organizations affiliated with a registered political
party or candidate for public office) may seek funding through the CFL Event Grant
for non-partisan political activities only (e.g., candidate forums available to all
qualified candidates, non-partisan educational programs, etc.)
No registered student group may use University funds on behalf of a candidate for
public office in a political campaign.
