Role of Funding Facilitator

The shortest description of the Funding Facilitators is the “TA” of budgets.
There are five Funding Facilitator positions on FAST:
- (1) Student that is affiliated with Club Sports and Competitive Teams;
- (1) Student that is affiliated with Performance Groups;
- (1) Student that is affiliated with a Minority Coalition group;
- (2) Student member(s)-at-large.
Funding Facilitators are responsible for:
- Assisting treasurers of RSOs and students receive funding. This is primarily through helping them draft their budgets/funding requests during “office hours” and accessing other money on campus (Academic Departments, the DC, Dean’s)
- Holding two meetings per week, half of which will be spent as office hours for RSOs and students to receive help writing budgets.
- Keeping a publicly accessible record of all budget requests, annual budgets, approvals & denials.
- Helping draft and oversee the approval of annual budgets submitted by RSOs each spring.
All funding facilitators will be compensated for their work and time with an $800.00 stipend each semester starting in the fall.
