J-825 Student Organizations Fundraising

College-approved student clubs and organizations, such as the Student Government Association (SGA) and Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC), provide valuable experiences to Students by fostering student leadership development, career opportunities, and community relations. These activities are an integral component of the total educational experience at the College.

While student activity fees support these experiences financially, additional funds are often needed to help with educational and social activities. Therefore, the District Board authorizes SGA and SAFAC and sanctioned student organizations, clubs, and athletics to conduct fundraising projects to supplement funds received from student activity fees.

All fund-raising activities shall be compatible with the College's mission and promote a positive image. The District Board directs the SAFAC, under the supervision of a designated Employee, to establish and publish guidelines governing fundraising activities. All fund-raising projects shall comply with these guidelines and manage funds in compliance with Wisconsin Statutes 38.12 (2).

All proceeds from fundraising activities shall be turned over immediately to the College’s Business Office so the funds can be deposited in one of the College’s designated depositories. The President/District Director shall ensure that all necessary records, according to Wisconsin Technical College System Board regulations and sound accounting practices and procedures, are created and maintained. The College shall ensure that, as necessary, fund-raising records are examined and disclosed annually as part of the College’s audit of student activity accounts.
