RPIRG funds bold, justice-driven student initiatives that challenge systems of oppression and build a more equitable world. Every year, we allocate a significant portion of our revenue to support projects, campaigns, research, and events led by students who are organizing for change. Whether you're confronting racism, colonialism, climate injustice, or economic inequality, our funding exists to back your work and amplify your impact.
This isn't just about financial support — it's about resourcing your resistance. We're committed to redistributing power by investing in students who are building safer, more inclusive, and more just communities. If you're working to uplift marginalized voices, disrupt harmful narratives, or transform the structures around you, RPIRG is here to stand with you.

Board of Directors Duties
The RPIRG Board of Directors is composed of 8 Student Members of RPIRG. It is the decision-making body of RPIRG, which makes all major decisions regarding finances, long-term goals, long-term viability of the organization, staffing, and funding application approval – all using concensus-based decision making principles.
RPIRG board members meet once per month, sit on committees which report to the board on matters like staff relations, budgets, events, and funding, and help to run and promote RPIRG events.
Every spring, students vote for their Board of Directors in conjunction with other student group elections. All Student Members of RPIRG who are in good standing will be able to run for a seat on the RPIRG Board of Directors. Board terms are 2 years, but you can run for up to 2 terms. New board members receive a full orientation and are given opportunities and resources throughout the year to pursue professional development training related to their role.
Although only board members can vote on important decisions and motions, ALL students are welcome to attend our open board meetings or be involved in committee work. If you’re considering running in our board election, are curious about nonprofit governance, or would like to get involved in a committee to share some great ideas you have, please join us! – please email info@rpirg.org to confirm start time and location.
