2025 - 2026 Initiative Fund:

Student Association Initiative Fund
The Initiative Fund provides Rice student organizations with the opportunity to bring new ideas, events, and projects to life for the benefit of the entire campus community. Managed by the Blanket Tax Committee, the fund supports initiatives that are innovative, accessible, and aligned with the mission of enhancing student life at Rice.

This year, the Initiative Fund is the largest in Student Association history, with $143,000 available to support student-led projects.

All registered student organizations in good standing are eligible to apply. The application requires basic organizational information, details about the proposed initiative, and a budget proposal using the provided template. Funding decisions are made with the goal of supporting projects that uniquely enrich the Rice experience and are accessible to the broader student body.
