Funding Application

SBA won’t give you $3,000 for that amazing event you thought up that you’re sure everyone will want to go to?! Don’t fret—there is plenty of money out there for you! One word of wisdom though: PLAN AHEAD! Do not jeopardize the success of your event by failing to do so.

Planning an Event and Need Some Non-Funding Help?

Besides providing possible funding assistance, the Office of Student Leadership & Service also provides assistance in the way of event planning: http://osls.emory.edu/event_planning.php »

*Some of these sources will require that your event be open to students from the greater university community and/or Atlanta community in order to provide funding. Some will also require that your organization be perpetually chartered.
