Student Organization Funding
The Students' Association allocates General Activity Funds to SDSU student organizations through several avenues.
The Student Promotion Fund is an event-based grant program co-operated by the SDSU Students' Association and the Brookings Chamber and Visitors Bureau. The purpose of the fund is to recruit and sponsor events designed to provide entertainment value and enhance the collegiate experience for students and to encourage students to remain on campus and in the Brookings community on weekends during the academic year.

If your student organization event will draw attendees from out of town (particularly overnight guests), encourage students to stay on campus or in the Brookings community on weekends, or help stimulate the local economy in some way, you may be eligible for a grant from the Student Promotion Fund.
