Association Funds

What are Association Funds?

Association Funds are money that comes directly from the resident and should be spent in coordination with your Association. Each pays $34.88 to the Association each year.

Of that money, $6.32 is taken out to pay for RGC stipends, and $9.00 dollars is taken out to fund OCHC. The rest stays within your building budget.

See Budget page for breakdown.

Budget line items:

Community Fund: Your Association approves the money spent on this line item. RAs or other staff can submit proposals for the Association to vote to fund this program (can fully/partially fund). You will need to attend an association meeting (with prior approval), present your program, and explain the budget request, and then Community Representatives will vote on whether to approve the budget. Meeting minutes must be attached anytime this fund is used; this is proof that Community Representatives voted to fund the program.
Building Programming: This fund is used for community-wide programs initiated by Resident Government Council (RGC).
Building Welcome Week: These funds are for building-wide welcome week funds to kick off welcome week/move-in. Must be used during Week 0 and Week 1 of the Fall Quarter.
CR Development: These funds are for Community Representative development and recognition.
RGC TTD: TTD funds for your RGC.
Misc: This budget can be used to supplement other line items FOR RESIDENTS (not for TTD/staff) at the discretion of the RD/ARD except any staff bonding or gifts.
Floor Funds: These are funds for floor-specific programs. Each Resident Assistant (RA) has a predetermined budget and can use the funds themselves or collaborate with other RAs to create and implement floor programs.
Floor Welcome Week: These funds are for floor-specific programs during welcome week only. Connect with your leadership team to determine expectations and deadlines. Must be used during Week 0 and Week 1 of the Fall Quarter.
