Discretionary Requests Schedule

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ REGARDING THE DISCRETIONARY FUNDING PROCESS

BC meets Mondays at 8pm in Cole Assembly Room in Converse and Thursdays at 7:30pm in Paino Lecture Hall.

Club leaders are required to attend the BC meeting to make their funding request. Otherwise, your request will be zeroed, your funding will not be allocated this week, and you will have to return next week.

If the request heard at the BC meeting was contentious, the BC will advise the club leader to on whether or not to come to the Senate meeting the subsequent Monday to represent their club.

Club leaders can simply check online to see if their request was approved on Tuesday morning. Remember, do not spend your funding until after the Senate allocates it on Monday night.

Discretionary Fund Request

The Association of Amherst Students and its Budgetary Committee is excited to fund events organized by individuals of non-AAS recognized organizations and by the Amherst College student body at large, and will consider your request at its weekly meeting so long as your proposed event is in compliance with:

  1. The BC Accessibility Policy (Event/group must allow all Amherst College students to participate)
  2. The BC Non-Discrimination Policy (Cannot discriminate on the basis of arbitrary criteria, as outlined in the AAS Constitution)
  3. The BC Awareness Policy (Publicity of the event/group is mandatory)
  4. The BC Admittance Policy (Cannot charge for participation or admission)

Directions: Complete this form by giving a detailed explanation of your request for discretionary funding and an itemized budget (line items, below). Be sure to include targeted attendance, estimated participation, reasons why you do not have enough funding currently (if you are a BC funded club), experience planning similar events and an explanation of the value of the event to Amherst College. Include additional info (for example, a biography of the speaker) if possible and appropriate BC paperwork (contract if applicable).
