GrizzOrgs is a network for student organizations, with features like a calendar, messaging, forms, and the ability to design your organizations very own website. With GrizzOrgs, organizations will have a new venue to advertise their events and be able to keep in contact with their members easier, faster, and more hassle-free than ever.
The first time you log in you will have to make a profile. This can be edited at any time and not all fields are required. If you do not want your address to be visible, make sure to not put it on there.
Beginning Fall 2011, all student organizations will be required to register on GrizzOrgs. For more information regarding how to start a new student organization or how to use GrizzOrgs, please contact the Center for Student Activities.

SUMMER FUNDING REQUESTS:
SAFB is now accepting funding requests for the 2012 summer semester. Please note, however, that the board will not be reviewing any funding requests until after finals are officially over. Student organizations will begin receiving notifications regarding decisions made on behalf of their summer semester funding requests beginning at the end of April.
If your organization needs funding sooner, please contact the board at: safb@oakland.edu with an explanation of your organization's circumstances so that the board can try to work with you to expedite the SAFB process.
SAFB NEEDS YOUR ADVICE:
SAFB is deciding on whether or not to change its online forms for the 2012-2013 school year. The board is thinking of moving (and slightly changing) the SAFB forms onto GrizzOrgs, under a new budget management software (which will make everything accessible on OrgSync, rather than the SAFB website).
Your participation with this survey will greatly assist us in our decision, so please let us know what you think! You can access the survey by clicking on the "SAFB Form Survey" button on the left side of this page. Thank you for your time and suggestions!
GRIZZ ORGS CONTEST:
The Center for Student Activities (CSA) and the Student Activities Funding Board (SAFB) are giving away free prizes to student organizations for maximizing Grizz Orgs use and its useful features! Prizes range from $150 to $400 to be transferred to your organization's FLEX account. Click here to learn more about these great prizes and how your organization can win!
CHARTWELLS UPDATES:
The green bags that Chartwells uses to put paper products in for student groups are are not being returned. Chartwells has thus notified SAFB that they have started charging $10 everytime a group doesn't return a bag (as it costs Chartwells $10 to replace each one). If you could please return your bag to Chartwells this will help Chartwells not lose many bags and help your organization not go into deficit.
Also, the new student organization catering menus, designed by OUSC's Visual Communications Director Alejandro Herrera, are officially complete and can be viewed by clicking here: Student Organization Guide (Pickup before 5:00 pm) 2011-2012 and Student Organization Guide (Pickup after 5:00 pm) 2011-2012 (they may take a moment to load).
SAFB MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the Student Activities Funding Board is to impartially assist the registered Student Organizations of Oakland University in implementing and developing programs, events, and other activities to benefit the Oakland University student body by fairly and equitably appropriating its financial resources as well as professionally consulting with the aforementioned organizations.
The Board understands that it can be confusing when applying for funding. We try to always help assist you as best as possible, where you can always visit the SAFB chair during his office hours, email us, or visit our FAQ and Helpful Information pages for more information. We've done our best this past summer to dramatically change the SAFB process.
The three main goals the Board has tried to accomplish is to make the SAFB process easier, more accessible, and more straightforward then ever before. We are hopeful that the 2011-2012 school year will bring the best year yet for student organizations and their members and we are looking forward to the Fall semester. The new online SAFB forms (shown above) will be implemented after the Student Organization Training on September 10, 2011.
All funding requests submitted to SAFB should be submitted online no later than 5:00 pm on Monday to be reviewed at the following Tuesday Board meeting. The Board reviews submissions every Tuesday, where student organizations are then notified via email regarding the Board's decisions by the following weekend. Emailed decisions are sent to the president and treasurer via their Oakland emails. For information on what to do following SAFB approvals (or denials), please click here.
