Finances
There are other ways to get support for your Club/Society for example from the Queen’s Alumni Network. Alumni (Queen’s graduates) can help as volunteers for your Club/Society (if you are interested in learning more about this contact alumni@qub.ac.uk) and they can also assist via the Annual Fund.
Queen’s Annual Fund was established in 1999 as a way of getting Queen’s Graduates or Alumni more involved in current University life. Alumni respond positively to being asked to participate & donate and these donations are collected in a variety of ways:

The Queen’s Annual Fund dispersal occurs just once a year! So don’t miss out on your opportunity to do something significant this year for your Club/Society that will enhance the Student Experience at Queen’s. This year £130,000 has been raised and will be divided as follows:
-
£32,500 (25%) Scholarship & Bursaries
-
£32,500 (25%) Area of greatest need (capital campaign)
-
£65,000 (50%) Projects that enhance the Student Experience
The opening date for Queen’s Annual Fund submissions every year is mid-September and the deadline you have to respond is the start of October. You will be informed of the exact dates via the clubs and societies committee members’ mailing list.
Make sure to look out for emails, social media or any posters around campus to be in with a chance of raising valuable income for your club or society. All the information on the Annual Fund can be found here.
