Funding

Groups that fund projects/plans at Collins

Arts Council

Arts Council considers funding requests for any community event or project that focuses on the arts—visual, performing, and literary arts are all accepted. Funding proposals will only be considered if the requester is present at the meeting, so be sure to attend to answer questions and present your idea.

Board of Educational Programming

BOEP selects Collins courses and plans Fireside Chats other events. It also serves as a funding board for residents who want to plan projects and programs that have an educational element to them. The educational focus doesn’t necessarily have to be academic. BOEP has sponsored museum trips, science demonstrations, documentary screenings, caving trips, and so much more!

Board of Governors

Made up of representatives from each floor, BOG serves as an elected legislative body within Collins. BOG is the only funding board that will hear floor-specific requests as well as community event proposals. Otherwise, almost anything goes as long as it provides something valuable to the Collins community.

Community Council

Community Council is open to any Collins resident to attend and take part in the council. CC hears both space requests and funding requests. The only requirement for CC funding requests is that the event or project must be open to the entire community.

SustainCollins

Anyone who wants to do a sustainability based project can request funding from SustainCollins. Fill out a funding request and turn it in at the Duty Office. You’ll hear back after the group reviews your request.

Other Sources of Funding

Can’t figure out where to go for funding? Ask a student leader or staff member. Occasionally, large one-time expenses ($500 or more) may be requested from Fee Committee, which meets three times per year. Contact the Fee Committee chair for more information.
