Fund Raising Policy
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to establish a solicitation or fund raising policy for faculty, staff and students of UMM. The object of this policy is to ensure that: The integrity of the University's fund raising operation is maintained. All fund raising appeals/messages sent by the University or on its behalf are consistent. Fund raising constituencies are protected from solicitations that are inappropriate or too numerous.
Authorization
All solicitations for private gift support must be cleared through the Vice President of Administration and Finance. It is necessary to maintain a coordinated approach to all individual, corporate, and foundation prospects in order to enhance the probability for success. Interested parties must submit a written proposal via email to the Vice President of Administration and Finance (VPAF) detailing the following information:
* What is the project for which the funds are to be raised?
* How will the funds be used?
* Who will be solicited?
* How and by whom will the solicitation be made?
* Include a draft copy of solicitation materials
* When will the solicitation take place (a beginning and end date)
Fund raising cannot commence without advanced written approval by the VPAF. This approval will follow a reasonable period of review time by the VPAF and will be approved via email.
