In high school those were just two of the many ways for student organizations to fund ventures. And while a bake sale may not seem feasible for campus groups with high aspirations, we can surely find other means for covering our expenses. We should not sit back on our duffs at tables in the College Center and ACDC pleading for point donations. The harvesting of points and ultimate reaping of cash promotes laziness and shows a lack of enthusiasm. If an organization feels it has been underfunded, let the VSA Executive Board know.
Organizations can also work together to defray the cost of events and other expenses.
The more groups that are involved in a monetary venture, the less each is going to have to spend. Profits will decrease, but in the end, the parties involved will still be ahead financially. There is also a slew of VSA funds for which groups and even individuals can apply. Speaker's Bureau helps cover the cost of a lecturer your group may want to bring to campus. The Conference Fund will allow your organization to host a conference on campus or attend one elsewhere.
