Organization Fund Advisory Board (OFAB)

Administered by the Illini Union, the main function of the Organization Fund Advisory Board is to propose expenditures from the fund that would benefit a large number of student organizations. Proposals can use up to half of the interest generated by organizations in the Organization Fund (usually about $18,000 - $25,000 per year) as a source of funds for things which are “universally needed” by organizations. At least half of the interest (plus whatever is not proposed to be spent by the Board) will be returned to the organizations that generated it.
