All fundraising events must also be approved by the PNWU Development Office.
Can our club fundraise for an organization other than PNWU?
Yes, fundraising may be conducted in support of an organization other than PNWU. All donations made to the designated organization must be made directly to the organization using the organizations website or having an organization representative at the fundraising event to physically collect donations. Checks to the organization need to be written directly to the organization and cannot be written to PNWU. An example of this type of fundraising effort is the annual Run for Your Life 5K.
Can our club fundraise on campus?
Yes, fundraisers on campus include things like t-shirt sales, mug sales, raffles or other methods of raising funds from the PNWU community of faculty, staff and students. Fundraisers must have PNWU Development Departmental approval PRIOR to the start of the fundraiser. Clubs must work with the PNWU Development Department using the new JustGiving platform.
See the 2020-2021 Student Handbook for fundraising approval procedure.
Per the PNWU Student Handbook:
All fundraisers must be submitted to Student Affairs for approval by using the Student Event Request and Summary form. Once the fundraiser has been approved, email development@pnwu.edu to receive written approval of your fundraising items. Student Affairs must receive this written approval before your event request can be processed. Students are responsible for turning in all monies earned to Student Affairs to be distributed into their individual club accounts. An SGA Fundraiser Deposit Form must be turned in with all monies raised within two weeks of the original date of the fundraising event. All club treasurers are responsible for tracking their individual club funds, and can check on any discrepancies with the SGA executive treasurer and Student Affairs.
