A. UMC Student Clubs and Organizations

All fundraising activities by student clubs and organizations require Crookston Student Association approval and must follow established policy and procedures. Contact the Office of Student Activities for more information.

B. UMC Departments 

1. Details of the proposed fundraiser are to be shared with the immediate supervisor and approval to proceed obtained (e.g., coach to Athletic Director, department head to Center Director, staff person to unit director).

2. A written proposal is to be submitted to the appropriate administrator (e.g., Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs) for preliminary approval to proceed prior to proceeding to step 3.

3. Information on the proposed fundraiser should be shared with the Crookston Student Association. Formal approval is not required. This is intended to avoid simultaneous fundraisers occurring and/or conflicts with other clubs/organizations fundraisers. Dependent on input received specific details and/or timing may be revised.

4. If off-campus solicitation will occur the Development Office needs to be consulted and their approval obtained. This is to assist the department in strengthening their fundraising activity and to avoid any conflicts with on-going fundraising efforts with off-campus constituents. Dependent on input received specific details and/or timing may be revised.

5 . If external sales (see: www.fpd.finop.umn.edu/groups/ppd/documents/policy/External_Sales.cfm ) will occur the Vice Chancellor for Finance needs to be consulted and his/her approval obtained. External sales activity must be conducted in accordance with University policy and procedures to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations and to minimize legal, insurance, and tax risks. Dependent on input received specific details and/or timing may be revised.

6. The appropriate administrator (e.g., Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs) will communicate to the Executive Committee the proposed fundraiser. Ordinarily this will be a "for your information" communication. If concerns are expressed formal approval may be required.

7. Upon approval by the appropriate administrator (e.g., Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs), and the Executive Committee (if required), the fundraiser may occur.

8. All funds are to be properly accounted for following standard University operating procedures working in conjunction with the Business Office.
