19th year of social and environmental justice activism on campus
The Regina Public Interest Research Group (RPIRG) is excited to share our approved budget for the 2025–2026 fiscal year. With a projected revenue of $412,886.22 and planned expenses of $407,515.56, we’re moving into a new fiscal year with a strong financial outlook and a modest surplus of just over $5,300.
This budget reflects what RPIRG is all about: giving students the tools, funding, and opportunities they need to create change through research, education, and action; and become more active as citizens. We’ve carefully planned how we spend every dollar, ensuring it supports meaningful programming, fair wages for staff, and direct grants to students and our associate members.
More than 78% of our revenue comes from student levies, and we’re happy to see an increase in external funding, including over $86,000 in grants and sponsorships.
