What is Budgeting? The best and most preferred way for organizations and individual parties to acquire SFC funds is through budgeting. Every semester, organizations are welcome to submit yearly or semesterly budgets to be reviewed by SFC. SFC reserves the right to deny any budget requests that go against our policies, made in accordance with Oberlin College's Office of Student Involvement . If you submit a budget and SFC funds it partially or in full, the petitioning party will be able to access these funds at the beginning of the proceeding semester. If your organization did not submit a budget for the following semester, your funds will start at $0. In order to acquire funds from that state, your organization will need to ad hoc. You can learn more about how to craft a budget here. You can learn more about our policies here. You can learn more about the ad hoc process here.
Please submit your budget as a PDF to the form (linked above). The title of the PDF should follow this format: Org name_treasurer first initial last name_Fall 2024 Budget Request. If you are submitting a yearly budget, replace “Spring 2025 Budget Request” with “FY 25-26 Budget Request.” DO NOT submit your budget as an email.
Upon submission, please make sure that your organization’s information (i.e. treasurer, index, etc.) matches our database. Your budget will not be reviewed by SFC if:
The information on your budget does not match the SFC Fall 2025 database
The organization is not chartered or listed on Presence and the SFC Fall 2025 database
The budget is not submitted through the proper google form
The budget is not in PDF format
Budgets are due on Sunday April 14 at 11:59pm and no extensions will be granted. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out.
