Module 1: Getting Started and Requirements

Watch the short video here to learn about the Student Involvement Team and the Student Funding Board.

SFB (Student Funding Board)

PRIOR to your event your RSO can apply for funds to pay for allowable expenses.
The RSO tier level determines how much funding your RSO can apply for per academic year.
SFB funding will be used through your on-campus Mason account.
Because SFB allocations are funded by the student activity fee, the money must be spent in adherence to Mason and SFB’s policies and procedures.
For information and instructions on how to apply for SFB, please visit (https://si.gmu.edu/sfb).

SGR (Self-generated revenue): Money raised through collection of dues, charging for events, donations, etc.

This money must be kept in an off-campus account that is managed by your RSO. To set up an off-campus bank account, your RSO will first need to apply for a Tax ID number (TIN) from the IRS. Instructions on how to apply for a TIN can be found under the “Off-campus bank accounts” section on the RSO self-service center (https://si.gmu.edu/rso-self-service-center/).
When using SGR, your RSO will still need to abide by all of Mason’s non-fiscal policies and procedures.
