Office Hours Update
2022-2023 Updates
Should your organization require a contract or any additional documents we request that you submit your application(s) as soon as possible to ensure proper review and signatures. Otherwise, you may not be able to host the vendor on campus and/or provide them with compensation. Finally, we wanted to remind you of the following.
Apply now using the “Money” tab on your Organization’s Mason360 page (click Money > Budgeting to see the application).
*Please keep in mind that your organization is responsible for following all current COVID-19 event restrictions, even if the event is off-campus. Any violation of these guidelines will affect your organization’s ability to receive funding from SFB in the future. See current guideline here: https://www2.gmu.edu/safe-return-campus/events-and-gatherings
Application Process via Mason360
The entire application process will now be through Mason360! SFB will no longer be using email to provide decision information. You will be able to see all of your approved requests and allocation amounts on your organization’s page on Mason360. All communication regarding funding decisions and application questions will be through Mason360’s chat function.

New Collaboration Policy
- In order to keep accurate budgets for all groups, all collaborating organizations contributing funds to an event must submit one application for the cost of items that their organization(s) have agreed to purchase.
- Organizations may pool available funds.
- Large costs (catering/performer fees) can be split but should be notated in the application.
- Unfortunately, there will be no monetary benefit for collaborating with organizations at this time.
All events MUST be FREE, as SFB funds will not be used for events where an admission fee is being charged.
