McNeese State University Fundraising Policy
McNeese Foundation Fundraising Approval Form
The President has delegated authority to the Vice President
for University Advancement to approve fundraising activities for all reporting
areas at McNeese State University subject to applicable laws, regulations, and
policies.
If a department or unit wishes to conduct a fundraising
activity, the individual responsible for conducting the fundraiser should
receive written permission from his or her administrative supervisor (Dean,
Department Head, or Director).
Upon the supervisor’s approval, the
written approval should be directed to the Vice President for University
Advancement for approval. The written request must include the following:
- A thorough description of the fundraising activity.
- Information about the proposed use(s) of the funds.
- The name(s) of the individual(s) responsible for
collecting the funds.
Once the fundraising activity is approved, the Vice President for University
Advancement will assist the department/unit in the establishment of a
restricted University account or McNeese Foundation account, as deemed
appropriate by the Vice President for University Advancement in consultation
with the Vice President for Business Affairs.
This account shall be used
for the management and control of all funds raised and expended in connection
with the fundraising activity and shall be subject to audit by the University’s
Internal Auditor, by the Office of the Legislative Auditor, and by the McNeese
Foundation’s official auditor. Throughout the course of the fundraising
activity, any solicitations for donations from specific donors should be
coordinated with the Vice President for University Advancement.
