 <\/p>\n\n\n

The Idea Fund was initially financed by a $15,000 seed donation from former President Durden\u2019s discretionary fund, followed by a private donation of $5,000 in 2011. Since then, our funding stems from loan payback, reflecting monetary savings generated or income earned from projects. Since 2014, we\u2018ve received an annual grant of $10,000 from Student Senate<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
