Allocations

What is the Allocations Process?

We recognize that our student organizations on campus play a vital role in shaping everyone’s Pitt experience. The purpose of the Allocations Process is to provide financial assistance by equitably distributing a portion of the $2.7 million Student Activities Fund to student organizations in need. The group responsible for the Allocations process is the Student Government Board Allocations Committee.

Student Organizations may request money through an annual or semesterly budget or they can submit supplemental requests each week by Wednesday at 5pm. The Allocations Committee then meets Thursday nights in the SGB office (848 William Pitt Union) to hear short presentations from each group that submitted a request. For requests $1,200.00 or less the Allocations Committee decision is final, requests over $1,200.00 are sent to the Board for further review at public meeting on Tuesday nights at 8:45pm in Nordy's Place.

The Allocations Committee

The Allocations Committee is comprised of a Chairperson and twelve liaisons, whose role it is to assist student groups in their utilization of the Allocations Process. The Chairperson holds ten office hours per week, and each liaison holds five office hours per week, during which they are available in the Allocations Office (located in 848 of the William Pitt Union) to answer questions, help with requests, and clarify policies and procedures. We strongly encourage every organization to consult their liaison before putting in a request. Please see below for a list of liaison group assignments and office hours.

If you have any issues with submission or have any questions please contact us at sgb.allocations@gmail.com
