| - | Getting and using funding is kind of like a game of spinning reality into something that sounds good to the people giving us money.
| |

| |
| - | ===Funding Sources===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Finboard (ASA): primary funding source
| |
| - | ** 4 funding cycles (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer): be wary of deadlines!
| |
| - | ** 4 funding application categories: operations (almost never use), capital (basically to buy cooking supplies), publicity, and events. Money can be shuffled within each category, so if a certain event needs more money but it doesn't sound feasible, ask for more money for a different event to compensate
| |
| - | ** Be sure to read up on what Finboard is looking for in a good application
| |
| - | * ASA Main Account: where we keep our own money
| |
| - | ** Receiver of membership fees, pastry sale profits, profits from events that we charge tickets for; source of funds for t-shirts, food runs, non-Finboard funded events (senior dinner, retreats, etc.)
| |
| - | * Parsnip, the cashbox: IMPORTANT! We are technically not supposed to have a cashbox, but we do anyway, so don't run around talking about it to real adults
| |
| - | ** Each year's exec board reserves the right to rename the cashbox
| |
| - | ** Fed by the main account and needs to be kept moderately full ($500-$1000 is about right)
| |
| - | ** Parsnip needs to be kept very safe. Ask someone for the combo.
| |
| - | * LEF/ARCADE: for large/cultural events
| |
| - | ** Requires an annoying application and jumping through some hoops, so stay on top of it
