Funding guidelines
Every dollar needs an approved purpose.
ClubCause supports specific, school-authorized high school club needs with a clear budget and documented payment path.
ELIGIBLE REQUESTS
What ClubCause may fund
- Club equipment and reusable supplies
- Program, competition, or registration fees
- Project materials and educational resources
- School-approved transportation or event costs
- Other mission-related expenses approved by the school and fiscal sponsor
NOT ELIGIBLE
What ClubCause will not fund
- Payments to a student, parent, teacher, advisor, or other personal account
- Gift cards, store credit, cash withdrawals, or cash-equivalent purchases
- Personal purchases or expenses unrelated to the approved club purpose
- Reimbursements made without advance written approval
- Purchases that violate school, fiscal-sponsor, or applicable legal requirements
REQUIRED BEFORE FUNDING
Approval is not automatic.
Every request must include an itemized budget, faculty-advisor verification, written school authorization, and an official school-approved payment destination. ClubCause may request estimates, invoices, registration pages, or product links before approving a project. ClubCause may decline or reduce any request that is unclear, unsupported, ineligible, or outside available funding.
