Open Fund

The ASM Open Fund is a program for Registered Student Organizations (RSOs). The goal of the program is to simplify the process by which RSOs can use small amounts of funding from ASM. With the Open Fund, RSOs eliminate the hearing process, simplify the application, and have funding available throughout the year. All groups can have a maximum of $200 from the Open Fund. However, the money is allocated on a first come, first served basis and may run out.

This $200 is distributed to the following funding line items:

$150 in printing (StudentPrint)

$50 in supplies (University Bookstore)

Open Fund Grant Deadlines for 2011-2012 Grants

All print orders must be submitted to Student Print by May 8th, 2012
