Student Organization Funding

Student Government Funding

Student Government provides over $250,000 every year to student organizations through the SG Appropriations and Student Senate Finance Committee Grants processes. These two funding resources are completely funded by student fees. Student organizations additionally apply for funding from the UNC Association of Student Governments and Graduate Student Association and fundraise with non-campus-affiliated businesses and organizations.

University-Affiliated Funding

These funding opportunities and resources are affiliated or connected with NC State University or the University of North Carolina System.

Sustainability Fund

The Sustainability Fund offers Project Grants to NC State students, faculty, and staff with a specific project idea to improve the sustainability of NC State’s campus and community in a visible and engaging way. There is no set award amount for Project Grants as we award funds to projects of all sizes. Historically, awards have ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Around $150,000 will be available each year for the Project Grants program.

Graduate Student Association

The full amount of funding will be awarded to organizations that demonstrate inter-departmental cooperation and possess great academic value.

Club Sports

Club Sports can receive money allocations from Wellness and Recreation. The allocation year runs from RecFest to the end of the Spring Semester. Any use of allocated funds during the summer must be pre-approved by the Assistant Director/Coordinators. Each club will submit a budget proposal and deliver a budget presentation during the Spring semester for the following year’s allocation decision.

The Club Sports Council, Sports Programs Program Assistants, and Sports Programs professional staff will take the following criteria into consideration for allocating funds:

• Quality of budget proposal and presentation
• Compliance point totals
• Community service efforts
• Fundraising efforts
