CLUB INCENTIVE GUIDELINES TIER II - Fundraising The Tier II Incentive Program allows active clubs the ability to increase their funding by hosting a fundraiser both on and off campus. As with all club events, an approved Event Request Form is required. Examples of fundraising events are as follows: Car Wash Charity Event Candy Sale Raffle Student clubs may request matching funds from Senate for monies collected during approved fundraising events. In order to do so, clubs must complete and submit a Tier II application, providing a detailed description of the fundraising event(s) and documentation of transactions. Clubs may submit one Tier II application per semester (Fall and Spring). This means a club may submit a total of two Tier II applications over the course of one academic year. The total maximum amount any one student club is eligible to receive from TIER II funding during any one academic year is $500. The Senate will match up to $250 dollars per semester. Applications are matched at 100% of the total funds raised, NOT TO EXCEED $250. EXAMPLES: A club raises $500 at a car wash in the Fall Semester. The club may submit a Tier II application for Fall Semester, and will receive a match from the Student Senate of $250, the maximum a club can earn per semester from Tier II funding. In the beginning of Spring Semester, the same club holds a candy sale which raises $130. The club may submit a Tier II application for Spring Semester, and will receive a 100% match of $130. At the end of Spring Semester, the same club holds another car wash. The club may NOT submit a TIER II application and will not receive any further funds from the Student Senate because it has already submitted the maximum of two TIER II applications for the academic year. NOTE: Any club whose fundraising event raises in excess of two- hundred and fifty dollars ($250) will not be matched and will not roll over to later Tier li applications. Fundraising events used in prior applications cannot be used again.

CLUB INCENTIVE GUIDELINES TIER III Leadership and Enhancement The Tier III Incentive Program allows active clubs the ability to increase their funding by hosting or participating in community-based events both on and off campus. As with all club events, an approved Event Request Form is required; events at which funds are raised are not applicable to this award. There are three separate incentive categories established to promote events and services within our community: 1. Community Service or Involvement ($150) Criteria: Work a minimum of 20 hours in an organized service activity that meets an identified on- or off-campus need (i.e., helping Habitat for Humanity build a house). This refers to direct, hands-on service with the primary goal being the benefit of others in the community, or the community as a whole. Written documentation of your service hours either on that organization s letterhead or in an email from a contact person must be presented with this application. Clubs must submit an Event Report Out form with this application 2. Leadership and Enhancement ($150) Criteria: Host an event or implement a project that has a direct impact on our campus or our community (i.e., sponsor professional speakers or community leaders to discuss current issues; provide leadership training to the Student Body; organize a food drive). This refers to less direct, educational service benefiting the community through enhanced awareness of problems, available resources, etc. These events must be open to the entire campus community. Clubs must submit an Event Report Out form with this application 3. Fellowship or Joint Ventures ($150) Criteria: Collaborate with one or more other clubs to benefit the community while representing Lorain County Community College in a positive manner. The club submitting the initial paperwork for the event will be awarded the $150.00 funding and must negotiate terms with the other participating clubs. All participating clubs must provide documentation of their advisor s approval to the Office of Student Life in order to participate in these events and receive Tier funding. Clubs must submit an Event Report Out form with this application. Clubs can request an award of $150.00 for each Tier lli incentive category submitted. There is a maximum of one (1) event per category, per club, per academic year, defined as Fall and Spring Semesters; a maximum total of three events and a total of $450 per academic year. Allocation of requested funds is based upon the availability of funds, the decision of the Student Senate, and the approval of the Manager of Student Life.

CLUB INCENTIVE PROGRAM EVENT REPORT OUT FORM Tier II and III request needs to be accompanied with an Event Report Out Form. The Event Report Out Form is available at the Office of Student Life. This form helps to document the event and provide information for improvement. The completed reports assist the Office of Student Life in sharing information with the campus community. The reports provide valuable information on the types of student engagement activities that student clubs offer to LCCC and University Partnership students. In cases where two or more clubs participate in the planning, organization, and facilitation of the same event, all participating clubs must fill out an Event Report Out Form. Please submit the Event Report Out form to the Office of Student Life. Additional information and documentation may also be included.
