The cycle deadlines for 2024-2025 are 9/16/2024, 10/21/2024, and 11/11/2024 for the fall semester, and 2/10/2025, 3/10/2025, and 4/7/2025 for the spring semester. For full consideration, completed fund request forms must be submitted before the cycle deadlines noted above and your event date is at least two (2) weeks after the appropriate cycle deadline. Decisions will be made by the IDAAS programming committee within a week of the cycle deadline. Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision by email. Approved requests will include the approved amount and procedures for paying honorarium and requesting reimbursements. Priority will be given to events that are open to the entire 5-C community.

For approved requests, here are a few requirements and helpful guidelines:

• Flyers, posters, and/or emails publicizing the event must include the “Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies” as one of the sponsors
• An electronic copy of the flyer/email being used to publicize the event must be sent to idaas@pomona.edu
• If the reimbursement of honorarium, consultation, and/or provided services is to be fully covered by IDAAS, the IRS Form W-9 must be completed and turned in to IDAAS for payment to be processed. Complete the direct deposit form for electronic payment.
• If IDAAS is paying for food and/or materials, please submit receipts totaling at least the approved amount. An account number and payee name must be provided for processing the reimbursement.
• Successful applicants must complete an Event Evaluation for the event within three (3) weeks of the event. Reimbursements will not be processed until the Event Evaluation has been submitted
