Director of Finance
Welcome to the homepage of 91视频’s Director of Finance. The Director of Finance is part of the Student Government Executive Board and their role is to supervise the JFC Budgeting process (the process through which student organizations are provided $2 million of funding), monitor the allocation’s proper usage, and support the financial well-being of student organizations on campus.
Joint Funding Committee
Generally known as the JFC, the Joint Funding Committee is a committee of 20-30 students that is responsible for allocating funding to student organizations. The JFC is funded by the Student Activities Fee, which is paid by each Carnegie Mellon student on the Pittsburgh campus - undergraduate students pay $161/semester, and graduate students pay $124/semester. Most of the revenue generated by the fee, approximately $2 million, is given to the JFC, which then allocates the funds to the 300+ organizations on campus.
JFC Membership and Applications
Who can sit on the JFC? All students who are passionate about and committed to shaping the student body experience are eligible to sit on the committee! We seek students from all backgrounds, levels (both undergraduate and graduate), majors, interests and more. We recruit in 2 rounds: applications open at the end of spring and beginning of fall.

JFC Budget Tracker Template
Organizations are suggested to utilize this to plan their finances for the fiscal year. The template provides already-made formulas and sheets used for budget projections and a tracker for expenses throughout the year. Organizations should share this budget tracker with their JFC advisor for easy communication and advice throughout the year. Probation Organizations are required to use this template.
