Row Signature Program Fund
Main content start
This funding line is only available to Row houses and supports Row houses in establishing and hosting a “signature” traditional event that is open to the campus or neighborhood. This fund supports the administrative costs of hosting an all-campus or all-neighborhood event.
More About the Row Signature Program Fund
- These events do not need to be parties or events where alcohol is served.
- While this funding line is designed to support a single event per Row house, if a house wishes to spread the funds across a quarterly event, that is ok– the important thing is that this fund can only support events that are open to the whole neighborhood or the whole campus.
- Row houses are not required to host all-campus or all-neighborhood events; like all the other funds in this bucket, houses can choose whether or not to apply for them.
- Application is required to access these funds, and requests must be made for either all-campus or all-neighborhood events.
- This fund is funded by a fixed term grant. This funding is equally distributed across each Row house ($3,000 per Row house).
