Special Allocations are one-time funds distributed to help cover the costs of special events and programming, not ongoing operational costs of a student organization.

According to the General Activity Fee Budgeting Guidelines set forth by the Students' Association and the University Activity Fee and Budgeting Committee: Special Allocations are not to support ongoing operational costs. This allocation is requested for use when an organization has a substantial budget shortfall and needs money to support a specific, one-time event.

New Venture allocations support ongoing operational costs for student organizations not already on the General Budget.

According to the General Activity Fee Budgeting Guidelines: The purpose of the New Venture Fund is to help new and existing organizations that are not currently receiving General Activity Fee funds request funds outside of the normal budget cycle.

The General Budget consists of university entities and facilities (e.g., University Student Union, Miller Wellness Center) and student organizations who receive GAF allocations from the Students' Association to fund their yearly operating budgets. The General Budgeting process occurs each spring semester for the following fiscal year.
