Fundraising Policy

GWSB Student Organization Fundraising

Student organizations affiliated with The George Washington University School of Business are encouraged to use entrepreneurial skills to raise funds for their organizations activities. However, The George Washington University and the School of Business have established aggressive fundraising goals, and it is important that all GW-related organizations work together to assure the best interests of The George Washington University and the School of Business. Consequently, all student organizations affiliated with the School of Business are subject to protocol when requesting funds from a source external to GW.

Fundraising Policy

1. Prior to contacting potential sponsors, student groups must submit a Student Organization Fundraising Request Form, available here.
2. The online form is automatically submitted to GWSB Undergraduate Programs for verification and tracking before being sent to the Office of Development and Alumni Relations.
3. After receiving the request, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations will determine approval or rejection of the fundraising request within five business days.
4. Following a granted request, student groups must provide weekly updates via email to track the status of their claim to GWSB Undergraduate Programs and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. This requirement is sustained until the potential sponsor grants or denies the request for funding.
