Please see below for the updated changes to our DOC
Guidelines.
The purpose of ASI Dollars for Organizations and Clubs (DOC)
grant funding is to support Sac State students in their endeavors
to increase the quality of campus life and learning. After
awarded funds, ASI DOC funding reimburses organizations and clubs
for money spent on events, food, promotion, conferences and much
more.
Funded events or activities must be open to ALL Sacramento State
students. Funding decisions will not be based on a student
organization’s point of view. An organization must not be denied
funding simply because it advocates a particular notion.
Viewpoint neutral criteria for evaluation funding proposals will
be the only considered factors that are NOT tied to viewpoint
such as fiscal responsibility and level of services
provided. Items/events awarded through DOC cannot be
resold or charge admission.
Who Is Eligible?
Official student organizations and clubs at Sacramento
State are eligible to apply for DOC funding. Must be in good
standing with Student Organizations and Leadership
(SO&L). If awarded, the organization or club must have a
current and up-to-date, ASI Club Agreement Form (CAF) with the
current President, Treasurer or like-officer on file with ASI
Business Office. You must resubmit a new CAF anytime changes
occur in authorized signers, club name, etc. Please keep in mind
that only the President, Treasurer or authorized signer on the
CAF may submit a DOC application.

clubs are using ASI dollars:
