Preamble

NEW! Effective 1/15/2025, the yearly limit for SEIF has doubled from $500 to $1,000! Welcome to the Central Student Association (CSA) Student Events and Initiatives Funding (SEIF) Application Form, in which CSA members may request financial support for any event, or initiative. Before you get started, there's a few important things you might want to know... Requests for financial support may cover, but are not limited to, promotion, technical assistance, event supplies, and transportation. SEIF is not granted for operational costs, salaries, or alcohol costs. Priority goes to applications that will have the greatest impact on the undergraduate population at the University of Guelph. In fairness to all organizations, no group will be awarded more than $1,000 in any fiscal year (May-April). In order to qualify for future funding, recipients of SEIF funds must complete the SEIF Funding Report within two weeks of the event or initiative. Thank you for reading! If you have any questions regarding the completion of this form, please consult our website or reach out via email at csaclubs@uoguelph.ca.
