Student Organization Funding Sources

Fundraising and Donations

If you are interested in reaching out to friends, family, alumni, and others to solicit donations for your organization, or a specific project your organization has taken on, consider partnering with the Office of Annual Giving for a new project page or for participating in #MoveInMiami.

Project Page

Raise funds for your student organization with ease! Contact the Office of Annual Giving to meet and have a fundraising project page specific to your group created, which will help your org reach its goals. Benefits of having a project page include (but not limited to):

  • 100% of funds raised will go to your organization, unlike most crowdfunding pages
  • Your organization does not have to pay credit card fees
  • Your organization receives a personalized URL for its specific project page
  • All donations made through the page are tax-deductible gifts (your donors will appreciate it!)
  • Your organization will be raising funds in accordance to the Student Handbook. 

#MoveInMiami

#MoveInMiami is Miami University's annual day of giving, which takes place during first-year move in. 

Last year during #MoveInMiami, over 300 areas within the university, including a significant number of student organizations, raised over $1,000,000 in 20 hours and 20 minutes.

Your organization can also be a part of this momentous day, by having a project page created, so that it may be featured on the #MoveInMiami website. During #MoveInMiami, your student organization's project page can be used to raise general funds for your org or a specific project (recommended by the Office of Annual Giving).

Card Readers and eMarket

Credit Card and MULAA Readers

Student organizations can borrow a credit card reader and/or a MUlaa reader from the Center for Student Engagement, Activities, and Leadership to use during on campus sales and other money collection events. Use the links to reserve either a credit card reader or MUlaa reader.

Credit Card Reader

MULAA Reader

Card readers are for use at on-campus events such as bake sales, dues collection, t-shirt sales, study guides, etc. They can not be used for alcohol-related fundraisers.

eMarket

Student organizations can set up a customized payment webpage on Miami's Nelnet platform for collecting funds for dues, fees, registrations, and sales of goods/services.

Our office highly encourages organizations to use Miami’s eMarket as the portal will allow your group to establish a permanent payment platform to be used for all future events. You can request an eMarket site by emailing the Bursar office at bur_ecommerce@MiamiOH.edu.

Just keep in mind that eMarkets cannot be used to collect gifts, which the Office of University Advancement will be happy to assist with should you wish to create a giving page. Learn more about fundraising and donations.

For questions relating to credit card and MUlaa readers please contact Elissa Christmas, christe@miamioh.edu.
