EVENT WORKSHEET
In order to be eligible to apply for SAC funding, a student organization must:
i. Be officially registered with the Office of Student Activities and in good standing with the university,
ii. Have attended a Student Allocations Training session in the current academic year
1. On-Campus Programs (single sponsor)
SAC may fund events (i.e. speakers, forums, conferences, workshops, and social events) brought to Winthrop
University for the benefit of all students. These functions must be publicized, free, and open to all students.
Events and activities supported in part by SAC funds need not and should not avoid controversial, political,
religious and/or ideological content. All SAC decisions are made from a neutral view-point.
i. Speakers/Contract Services
i. SAC may fund up to $500 for professional services for the cost of any speaker or performer paid to
facilitate a program by an organization. All fees must be calculated as one lump sum and included in a
Contract for Professional Services. All speakers or performers are required to complete a Contract for
Professional Services before the scheduled performance in order to receive compensation. Contracts can
be found in the Office for Student Activities. The contract must be completed a minimum of two weeks
before the event in order to process payment.
ii. Original signatures are required to be turned in to receive full funding. You must bring contact
information for the person receiving compensation to DIGS 269, so that the Office of Student Activities
can send them the contract.
ii. Movies
i. Funding up to $500 may be granted for the cost of a public viewing license.
iii. Equipment rentals
i. SAC will only fund the rental of equipment if it cannot be borrowed from the Winthrop Audio/Visual or
Facilities Management departments. SAC will not fund the purchase of equipment.

estimated number of attendees must be included on the Event Worksheet.

officers is to be determined by campus police and the Office of Student Activities.
viii. Collaborative Programming
The Student Allocations Committee has set aside a portion of funds to encourage student organizations to
collaborate with one another in bringing free, entertaining, and informative programming to campus. The focus of
this funding is to increase the number of educational lectures and late-night and weekend programming on
campus which are open to all students. Events or activities sponsored by more than one organization (especially
by organizations that have not traditionally worked together) are eligible to request funds for their event. Each
sponsoring organization must identify its roles and responsibilities for the event as a co-sponsor. We request
representatives from each sponsoring group be present for the SAC interviews.
i. Lectures & Speakers

services for the cost of any speaker or performer paid to facilitate a program. All fees must be calculated
as one lump sum and included in a Contract for Professional Services. All speakers or performers are
