  • IMPORTANT
    Information about new grants in response to COVID-19 pandemic

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, two new grants are now available for FUSA affiliated Clubs & Associations to access to support online engagement in addition to General and Pool Funding grants). These include the below:

    • Online Service/Tool Grant - This is a once-off grant of up to $200 for the purchase of required online tools/services (e.g. Premium Zoom Account, server hosting, etc.). This may be applied for by all FUSA affiliated clubs and associations (including non-financial affiliates). The service/tool must be registered and owned by the club/association (rather than registered under a personal account). 
    • FUSA@Home Grant - Grants of up to $100 per registered activity are available for activities open to Flinders students and advertised in FUSA@Home. For recurring activities you may apply for up to $100 per recurrence (e.g. 10 x online workshops = up to $1,000 in funding). As a condition of accessing this funding the funded activities must:
      • Be run by the FUSA affiliated Club/Association, and;
      • Be open to all Flinders University students, or open to all Flinders students within a College/Teaching program, and;
      • Be advertised on the FUSA @ Home Facebook Group at least 24 hours before the event

    For queries regarding these grants, please contact adam.rau@flinders.edu.au

  • Please Note: Using acronyms may result in the rejection of your application without review.
  • This is the general club email address for the club, e.g: "flindersclub@gmail.com"
  • This is the full name of the Executive Member of the submitting this application.
  • This is the email address of the Executive Member submitting this application. This application must be submitted by a current Flinders University student.
  • This is the Student Number of the Club Executive submitting this application, e.g: "2080000"
  • Details of a second club executive member who has approved this application to proceed must be listed here. You may not use the same executive member as listed above.
  • This is the full name of the supporting Executive Member of the Club who has provided approval for this funding request.
  • This is the email address of the supporting Executive Member of the Club who has provided approval for this funding request.
  • Academic Associations (formerly School Associations) represent all students of a college (e.g: Chemical and Physical Sciences) and have the endorsement of the Dean of the College and FUSA as the representative organisation for the college. Please note that FUSA contacts clubs directly to become an Academic Association, and this does not apply to every club relating to an academic discipline.
  • This is the reference number for your approved Pool Funding Project (e.g: Y17R5P0). Please note that this form is for previously approved Pool Funding projects only. If your intended project has not been approved, please complete the "Apply for Pool Funding" form on the Manage Your Club page of the FUSA website.
  • Please provide a breakdown of how you intend to use the requested funding.
    DescriptionExpense CategoryAmount ($) 
  • If this is incorrect, please update the item list above with the correct cost for each item/service.
  • Specific details should be provided, such as details for any events/activities the expenses will be used for (including dates/locations/etc. where applicable), and how the expenses will be used toward meeting the club's objectives and/or supporting its activities. Generic descriptions such as "For the club's events", "To support the club", etc. will result in the application being rejected.
  • Note: This is not required, however FUSA may request appropriate quotes/documentation be provided prior to approval. It is important that the purposes are clearly explained in the previous field if no supporting documentation is provided.

  • Payments or gifts (exceeding $20) to registered club members

    As the club is required to remain not for profit, payment or gifts (exceeding $20) to registered members and/or their immediate families (other than reimbursement of actual incurred costs) are not typically permitted. All club members' service to the club should be provided voluntarily; and all generated profits (such as tickets for club activities, fundraisers, etc.) must be reinvested into the club's activities. Profits generated by the club (such as through ticket sales, fundraisers, etc.) may not be distributed to members or their families under any circumstances. 

    In special circumstances, the Clubs Officer (or delegate) may authorise the club to use funding for a payment or gift (in excess of $20) to a registered member for services rendered. The club must not provide gifts or payments to their members unless authorised by the Clubs Officer. Gifts or payments to current executive members of the club will not be authorised under any circumstances, and recurring payments to members (i.e; for regular employment, annual honorariums, etc.) will not be authorised.  

    The club is expected to make all reasonable efforts to find alternatives to paying a member (whether via money or gifts exceeding $20). If this is not possible, clubs may apply for approval if the reason for gift/payment meets one of the below criteria. Please note that submission of this application does not guarantee approval, and FUSA reserves the right to reduce or deny funding for any payment to a club's members (even if the club has made a commitment to the member or member's family).  

    • The service is at least 20% cheaper than other services providing a similar service.
      Justification must be provided to show that the service is essential to a club event/activity. At least three quotes must be obtained from other registered businesses and provided within this application as evidence. 

    • A similar service cannot be provided by any other business/provider.
      Justification must be provided to show that the service is essential to a club event/activity. Evidence must be provided to show that the club has made all reasonable efforts to find an alternative provider. The club is expected to make reasonable accommodations to use alternative providers, even if not providing an identical service. 

    • Purchase of member-owned equipment or resources. 
      The club must provide justification to show that the equipment/resources are needed, and that the equipment or resource cannot be reasonably purchased from another provider (i.e; is unique or substantially cheaper than other providers). If justification is that the item is significantly less expensive than purchasing from another provider, 3 quotes should be provided from other providers as evidence. 
    • The service cannot reasonably be provided voluntarily by any club member.
      Justification must be provided to show that the provided service is essential to a club event/activity, and the amount of time or resources associated with providing the service would be unreasonable for the member to provide voluntarily. It is not considered unreasonable for a member to volunteer their time in a club executive/committee role and/or pay for their own fuel/transport/parking costs for regular club activities. 
    • Award for outstanding service provided to the club or toward the club's aims and objectives.
      Evidence should be provided to show that the member has contributed outstanding service to the club or its objectives (i.e; has significantly exceeded the expected level of service of an average executive, committee or club member). Alternatively, evidence should be provided that the member has worked in a significant role within the club for a period of three years or more. 

    • Other special (non-recurring) circumstance
      The club must provide justification for why the expense is essential to club activities, and show that other alternatives have been considered and are not suitable. Urgency as a result of poor/late planning of the event or activity will not be considered a valid reason for approval. Committing to the expense prior to receiving approval from the Clubs Officer is also not considered a valid reason for approval.
