GRANTS AND GIFTS APPLICATION

Student organizations that do receive a grant and/or gift from the RAA Grants & Gifts
Committee are expected, if asked; to render volunteer services to the Rutgers Alumni
Association during events such as Family Day, Loyal Sons/Daughter, Reunion weekend,
or others. The number of volunteer hours and students required for a given event will be
