Apply for additional funding for your club to use.
The WGCF fund is a pool of funding that clubs can apply for to support specific programming or events, especially activities that support and reinforce the mission of the club, benefitting the entire club population and enriching club members' experience.
It is up to the WGCF Committee’s discretion to fund an event after reviewing a club’s application. The Committee is made up of administrators and students. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. There is no guarantee that an application will be approved for funding.
Application consideration for approval is contingent on the club leadership completing all of the required club duties (i.e., attending the Presidents' Welcome Back, having a rep at club expo, etc.). Applications will be reviewed shortly after the deadline date and emails will be sent out with the WGCF Committee's decision within two weeks of the deadline.

Review all application processes below before applying. Note carefully the application deadlines, as the WGCF is specifically for future events. Plan accordingly for your event so you have time to adjust your event's budget based on the response.
Follow the below instructions carefully to submit application.
1
Determine the Purpose of Funding: Decide if the funding is needed for an upcoming event (e.g., academic competition, conference, sporting event).
Review the deadlines above to ensure that the event will occur after the decision deadline.
Plan for a future event, whether it be a academic competition, conference or sporting event that you would like your club members to attend. Market the event to your club members to solicit RSVPs or form teams. Work with your Club President and VP of Finance to apply for funding per the steps below.
2
Incomplete forms will not be considered. Please also be prepared to motivate your responses to the application via supporting materials, if requested by OSE
For Approved applicants will be required to provide marketing documentation (i.e., the event must be marketed to all club members via email/poster/etc) and expense approximations (e.g., hotel reservations, Expedia/Kayak printouts to support travel costs, etc.)
3
The Working Group for Club Funding Committee meets after each deadline has passed. Expect the decision from the Working Group to take 1-2 weeks after the deadline. The student who submitted the application will receive email notification of the decision.
If the WGCF application is approved, review the approval email for further instructions.
A
Please note that access to any club funding outside of an approved club budget by the Office of Student Engagement is contingent on having met all Pass the Torch deliverables and is approved by OSE in partnership with the Stern Budget Office and Senior Leadership.
B
After the event, the individual who initially applied for the funding must complete the feedback form. Funds will not be reimbursed until this is completed.
C
The club President/VP of Finance will then provide supporting documentation (receipts, invoices, etc) to confirm the information submitted in the feedback form (i.e., number of students who participated, actual cost breakdown) either via e-mail or submitted to the Office of Student Engagement on the 6th floor.
Email money@stern.nyu.edu to notify the Working Group for Club Funding of the submission of hard copies.
D
After the completed documentation is reviewed, the Working Group will then transfer the approved amount of funds directly to the club, at which point the club can handle the reimbursement process for those members who participated. Exceptions will be made when the event in question is not sponsored by an officially recognized student club.
