Commercial and Fundraising Activity

Stanford University's primary mission as an institution is research, education and service. All activity conducted on behalf of the university must be done in accordance with the university’s overarching mission. The university is required to enact policies to maintain a registered 501c3 non-profit status. 

Student organizations are an extension of the university and this designation comes with privileges and expectations to ensure stewardship of campus resources in the most ethical, values driven way. No student organization is allowed to use university resources, including university property, ASSU or other campus funding, for individual personal gain or profit.
