Funding Resources

Student Council provides Student Activities Fee (SAF) funding to active Contracted Independent Organizations (CIOs) at UVA for their organization’s expenses. All active CIOs can apply for SAF funding.

*PLEASE NOTE: Any CIO that has not yet received any type of funding from Student Council this year must follow the steps outlined in the “Set-up & Getting a Supplier Number” section below before applying! To receive funding, all CIOs must have a valid supplier number tied to their organization, a member, or a vendor.

Set-up & Getting a Supplier Number

Supplier numbers are used by the VPSA Finance Office to identify and store information regarding the bank accounts of recipients of university dollars. 

In order to receive and spend funding that Student Council allocates to your CIO, you must provide one or more valid supplier numbers on the funding request form. Particularly, any member, CIO account, or vendor you wish to compensate with SAF directly must have a supplier number. 

To request a supplier number, CIOs should fill out the supplier number request form linked below. Following this, the individual/group receiving the supplier number will receive an email containing a second form to register with PaymentWorks. Once the PaymentWorks form is completed and processed, the individual/group will receive a supplier number, which can be used for any future funding requests.  

 **NOTE: each individual/organization receiving funds only needs to fill out this form once, NOT each time your CIO submits a request. If a registered individual/organization forgets their supplier number, they should simply fill out the supplier number request form linked above and VPSA Finance will email them their number.** 

Please contact the VPSA Finance Office at vpsafinance@virginia.edu with any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this process!
