Major Change to the Way You Request Funding! There is no more funding deadline! We are moving to rolling requests. If you are planning an event in September or early October, you can start submitting your planned budgets to the AB database on April 1. You can start then, that is not the cut-off. We will outline the changes and what it means for you at workshops, held next week March 28-April 1 at 7pm in CAS 316 and again in mid-September. [This info is also on YouDo and was emailed out as an event invite to "Not the AB Deadline"]
The Allocations Board is an organization on BU’s campus tasked with distributing a portion of the Undergraduate Student Fee (USF) to on- and off-campus events held by undergraduate student organizations. The AB is composed entirely of undergraduates from across BU’s schools, residence halls, and student groups. Though each member attends every Monday night meeting and staffs the office, members receive no compensation other than the joy of subsidizing and encouraging great events.
We hope this site serves both as a resource to groups requesting funding and for students curious about how their USF is distributed, and how they can become involved in the process.
To submit a request for funding, you will need to access the AB Database. Just click the black and white logo to the right (or type in ab.bu.edu/db). For the link to load, you need to be using an on-campus connection or running the VPN. (The site is hosted on a secure BU server.) Your student group’s log-in is your SAO account number. That is also your default password. To amend a request or appeal a decision, you should email us.
Please contact us, either through this site or at allocate@bu.edu with any questions or concerns.
