1. State Capital Funds – this funding supports construction, renovation and some maintenance for state facilities. Major capital projects are funded by bonds issued by the State. Minor capital projects are funded by the building fee (approximately 3.5 percent of tuition) as well as earnings from the Educational Timber Trust. All of these funds are distributed based on legislative decisions. 2. Grants and Contracts Funds – there are two main funding sources in this fund group, nearly all of it coming from the federal government. The majority comes in the form of Pell Grants ($36M), distributed by the US Dept of Education to individual students with financial need. The rest of the funding is for a variety of federal research grants and student success grants like GEAR UP ($14M). Activity in this fund group is the cost reimbursement model. 3. Internal Service Funds – the sole purpose of this fund group is to support the work of university employees and students. These services generally are performed on a cost- plus basis with the intent to provide internal services at the lowest cost possible, plus a small margin to replace equipment, etc. Examples of internal service funds are Motor Pool, Wildcat Printing, Auxiliary Maintenance and Custodial, Architects and Engineers Pool, etc. 4. Trust and Loan Funds – there are two main categories of activity in this fund group, each about equal in size. First, a portion of tuition (4 percent) generates financial aid in the form of grants or short term loans. The rest is a variety of funding for which CWU acts as an agent, but has no ownership of the funds, for example some scholarships that follow our students and student club funds. DIVISIONS -How we are organized In addition to slicing the university up by funds, as required by fund accounting rules, the university has also organized itself by divisions for accountability purposes. There are five divisions in all, each led by a vice president or the president: Academic and Student Life Division (ASL) – This is the largest division led by the Provost/VP of Academic Affairs. This division accounts for the majority of the activity in each of the operating fund groups and is core to the mission of the university. Academic colleges: • CAH – College of Arts and Humanities • CEPS – College of Education and Professional Studies • CB – College of Business • COTS – College of the Sciences Academic support functions: • Provost Office • Associate Provost • Library
