Due to severe staffing shortages in our office, Student Activities can only accommodate funding request approvals for on-campus expenditures, such as facility rentals or campus services. This is in effect through Winter and Spring Quarter 2024.

The HUB, in an effort to assist Registered Student Organizations, has a source of funding to help make such activities and events possible.

HUB Event Funds for RSOs

  1. FUNDING MAY NOT BE USED TO PAY FOR CANCELLATION FEES.
  2. The maximum funding available per academic year is $500 per RSO. The SAO funding limit is $500 per event, so multiple RSOs will not receive separate funding for the same event.

Funding Requirements

To be considered for funding, a Registered Student Organization (RSO) must:

  • Submit a funding request at least three weeks prior to the event.
  • Agree to work with a Student Activities Office (SAO) adviser.
  • Have sufficient time to plan a program.
  • Be in accordance with all applicable HUB, University and state policy and procedures.
  • Support the University’s goal of increasing the sense of community.
  • Must be advertised and open to all members of the University of Washington-Seattle community.
