Late Night Fund

The Late Night Fund supports and encourages creative, new non-alcoholic social events on Friday and Saturday nights. The Late Night Funding Board enjoys collaborating with student groups to strengthen the array of non-alcoholic social opportunities available on campus to undergraduate students.

The Student Activities Office now has an annual budget of $40,000 for the Late Night Fund.

Fund availability: All student organizations are welcome to apply. For a current list of student organizations, please visit myGroups. If you are not listed as an organization, please talk with Shelley Adriance in the Student Activities Office about your ability to apply for funding.

The focus of this fund is to encourage creativity and new programming alternatives; however, groups looking for funding to enable an existing program to be open to and attract a broader segment of the student community may request funding.

Late Night does not support fundraisers where there is a charge or donation requested at the door to gain access. Groups may have a table on the side for donations to charity, but it may not be placed at the point of access to the event. Fundraising must be a secondary goal for the event. Any charge for the event must go towards the funding required to support the costs of the event, and any remaining funds after the event are returned to the Late Night Fund for allocation to future events.

We are interested in funding events to the fullest extent possible. The board is also interested in providing support to sponsoring groups for the success of implementing the ideas presented. Although the average request for a weekend would amount to $2,000, we foresee considering requests as small as $100 and requests as large as $3,500.

Funding Preferences

New, creative events or activities.
Events or activities sponsored by more than one organization or group -especially those co-sponsored by organizations that have not traditionally worked together. Each sponsoring group must identify its roles and responsibilities for the event as a co-sponsor. We request that a representative for each of the sponsoring groups be present for the proposal meeting with the board.
Existing events traditionally funded by the Undergraduate Finance Board or other funding sources will not receive priority consideration.
In an effort to support new events, we will consider a second proposal from groups for an event of a similar nature, but we ask that groups seek permanent funding for events that they wish to repeat in the future.

Event or Activity Requirements

Events must be open to all Brown students.
Events or activities must be non-alcoholic social programming alternatives.
Events must be held on a Friday or Saturday evening, preferably not ending until after midnight.
Events should be held on campus, if possible. Off-campus events must provide transportation if it is not in walking distance; please include this in your proposal for funding.
Event Coordinators must have an advisory meeting with a SAO staff member to develop an event management plan. The management plan will include how the sponsors will ensure that the event remains non-alcoholic.
All events receiving funding must submit a post-event report to assist the board and future events in developing non-alcoholic programming alternatives at Brown. Any funding not used shall be returned to the funding board. All events receiving monies from this fund must coordinate their finances through the SAO.

Advertising Requirements

Events will be actively promoted to all students.
Advertising will include the use of the University Calendar, the IPTV Promotional Screens on-campus and the advertising boards available in Faunce Arch.
All events receiving funding will identify this fund as the source of their funds by using the phrase “supported by” with the Late Night logo on their advertising.

Timeline

We encourage funding requests [DOC] [PDF] to be submitted early for consideration to enable time for the board to meet and to allow the organization time for proper planning. Groups wishing to be considered for funding this semester are requested to submit a proposal preferably 3-4 weeks prior to your event. The Board aims to support the planning process and success of events, the sooner you contact us, the more we can assist in the success of the events proposed.

Funding Board

The resources will be distributed by a funding board consisting of six students and two advisors. A call for nominations to the board will be made by the Student Activities Office to appoint a board with the following representatives:

Danny Oviedo '10, Greek Council.
OPEN, Program House Council.
Lucy Wang '11, Undergraduate Council of Students
Aparna Kumar '10, cultural student organizations' representative
Ang Zheng '12, student-at-large
Faustino Mora '10, student-at-large
Erin Hannen '12, student-at-large
Alicia Huong Dang '11, student-at-large
Two advisors: Shelley Adriance, SAO and Naomi Ninneman, Health Education.

The board meets weekly to consider requests, provide support to sponsors, review post-event reports, generate ideas and make recommendations for supporting non-alcoholic programming at Brown.

Student Activities will share information with a UFB representative to ensure communication is provided that is helpful to each of these funding boards.
