Club Fundraising Information
Clubs and organizations wishing to hold a fundraiser on the Lyndon campus must be approved prior to the start of the fundraiser. The procedure for gaining fundraising approval and the necessary forms can be found below.
Fundraising Procedures:
Before moving forward with your event planning, you must obtain permission from the Office of Institutional Advancement. Please review Policy 451 and the Fundraising Policies and Procedures. You will need to fill out the fundraising form, which can be found on the Institutional Advancement SharePoint.
The Fundraiser Approval Form must be filled out a minimum of 2 weeks before the time your club wishes to fundraise. Fundraising Forms must be approved before you begin fundraising. If you are interested in soliciting individuals or businesses, for either cash or in-kind gifts, you need to provide a list of those who will be solicited before your activity will be approved. If a 3rd party fundraiser is going to be engaged to assist with the fundraising activity, a written agreement needs to be included with your Fundraiser Approval Form. You will receive a copy of the form for your records. When you have the necessary signatures, you can move forward with your event planning.
Some events will be randomly audited by the Business Office.
When the event is over:
All Cash donations should be handed directly to Sara Lussier in the Institutional Advancement office. Any fundraising should be deposited into a club's account within 2 business days after the time that it is deposited.
Provide the Office of Institutional Advancement with an updated list of who was solicited and their response to your request as instructed on the Fundraising Approval form, number 5. In addition, please provide language for the acknowledgement latter that will be sent to donors.
Reminder: All checks need to be made out to Vermont State University - Lyndon.
