Mission
CFF is a student-run organization and part of Associated Students. We promote financial literacy awareness and educate students on various personal finance topics. Our mission is to provide valuable knowledge to prepare students to become financially literate during college and carry these skills for a lifetime of financial well-being.

The Community Financial Fund was established in the 2010-2011 academic year when students passed a measure allocating a new student fee of $2.10 per student per quarter to initiate the program. In the fall of 2011, CFF began its work by supplementing the AS Emergency Loans Program. By its second operating year, CFF inaugurated a well-liked grant program which to this day, provides additional financial assistance to the student populous. CFF also established financial literacy workshops with the grant which has been instrumental in equipping students with efficient money management tools and overall valuable financial knowledge. The Financial Aid Department and the AS Food Bank are co-partners of CFF that collaborate for the outreach of students living with food or housing insecurity.

The Human Rights Board of Associated Students serves as a forum centered on
facilitating and amplifying the interaction of student groups-both within UCSB and our greater community. The Board recognizes their mission of inclusivity by creating forum that encourages, advocates and promotes respectful and honest communication regarding the education and awareness of basic human rights principles. This includes, but is not limited to age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, nationality, religion, race, size, sex and sexuality. The main charge of the board is to promote open education and awareness through event forums and educational campaigns. The driving force behind this initiative is twofold: ignorance is the primary root of human rights abuses, and when collaborating together as opposed to separately we are capable of making a much stronger impact.
