Allocation Request: The Residence Halls Association maintains a belief that there are many different parties that play an important part in the building and maintaining of a strong community in the residence halls at the University of Michigan. As the elected student government of the residents in the residence halls our goal is to utilize our budget to best benefit our constituents. In keeping with this philosophy, we set aside a portion of our budget annually from which internal and external groups can request funding from RHA to be utilized in some way to benefit the residents of the residence halls. Once requests for an allocation are submitted they will be reviewed by the RHA Vice President for Finance to make sure the requesting group and purpose is eligible. A recommendation on the request is made by the Allocations and Budget Committee. The final decision is made by the RHA Assembly. Please contact the RHA Vice President for Finance (rha.vpf@umich.edu) with any questions about getting an allocation from RHA.

Notes:

1. •You may be awarded all, a portion, or none of the amount requested in the allocation you submit. Do not rely on a sum of money until you receive notice from the RHA Vice President for Finance of the final amount.
   

2. •When you make an allocation request you will be asked to attend, as well as make a presentation and field questions, at the RHA Assembly Meeting at which your request is voted on.
   

3. •If your event has been funded you will be required to sign a contract agreeing to the Allocation Request Guidelines, and the stipulations presented by the RHA Assembly.
