Funds used to sponsor an activity may not come from state-appropriated accounts. Restricted accounts (both grant and gift) may only be used if the activity is specifically provided for in the grant or gift.

Before using allowable funds, the sponsoring department needs to internally justify the expense by explaining:

  • Reason for sponsorship.
  • How sponsorship helps accomplish UNLV’s mission.

The word "donation" can not be used in any of the attached documentation.

The Supplier Invoice Request (SIR) with its documentation requires the appropriate approval:

    • The Provost/Vice President, Associate Vice President/Associate Provost, or the Dean may approve these requests.
    • Requests from the Athletics Department will be reviewed by the President's Office.
    • Student organizations (such as CSUN, GPSA, Student housing, etc.) where final approval rests with a governing body, only need to have approval of that governing body.
