If your program or department
has unmet needs, develops an idea
for expansion/enhancement, or
hears of a funding opportunity,
it might be appropriate for you
to plug into the funding assistance
process. The purpose of this process
is to support the systematic sharing
and review of college needs, ideas,
and opportunities – outside
the regular budgeting process.
The funding assistance process
utilizes a Funding
Assistance Form to guide
you through a standardized thought
process which will help you organize
your ideas – and help the
College determine what direction
to take.
Once you complete the form you
will need to obtain a number of
signatures – or endorsements
– before submitting the
form to the Director
of Community & Resource Development.
These endorsements will:
|
• |
Ensure the committed
involvement of the administration,
faculty and staff who will
later be called upon to implement
and direct the project if
it is funded; and |
|
• |
Guarantee the commitment
of the College for providing
the necessary resources including
space, matching funds, or
faculty/staff time so that
it will be properly supported. |
Next, your project idea will
be reviewed by a resource development
team – using the Standardized
Review Criteria –
and presented to the Executive
Council for consideration
and recommendations for action.
If the Executive Council recommends
it, it will be incorporated into
the resource development agenda.
You will then work with the SCC
Foundation and/or the Office
for Grant Activities to develop
the project into one or more fund
raising appeals and/or grant submissions.
If it is not recommended, they
may decide to fund it with other
resources, put it on hold, or
decide that it is something the
College does not want to pursue.
