The deadline for Winter 2025 Funding Applications is April 15th, 2025. *Please note that April 15th is a hard deadline, as we do not review applications over the summer.

Student Group Information

This will be the email used for all official communication. Please use a group Executive email address rather than a personal email address, if possible.
Briefly tell us about your student group. You may wish to include your main activities or mission, the number of students involved, and anything else that you think is relevant.

Fund Selection

You can only apply to one fund for each event and only one event at a time. Please refer to the Funding Guidebook found on https://ssmu.ca/resources/funding/ regarding the selection of the appropriate fund. If you are a FULL STATUS SSMU CLUB: select club fund.
*Only Full-Status SSMU clubs can apply to the Club Fund

Specific Funding Request Information

The accepted date of event/project (for proactive applications) or the date the event/project occurred on (for retroactive applicants).
Explain your event/initiative/funding use, what it will entail, how it contributes to the betterment of student life, who will be participating, and how it complies with the mandate of the fund you are applying to. Make sure to include sufficient detail for the Funding Committee to understand all aspects of your event. Do not include any numerical calculations here. You can include calculations in your budgets instead.
Please include any information you have regarding the physical, social, or technological accessibility of your event. This will be taken into consideration in the review of your application.

Document Submission

Please note that SSMU can only fund your event budget deficit. (For example, if you request $2,000 but we only see a deficit of $1,000, we can only fund the $1,000.) We will also only consider funding applications that follow the funding committee's budget template. The Budget template is available at: https://ssmu.ca/resources/funding/ Your Budget Spreadsheet must be correctly labelled in this format: Name_Budget_Fall/Winter_Year. Example: SSMU_Budget_Fall_2018
