Funds are allotted to the darkroom by the Chair and Treasurer and are designated for specific expenses. If you want to request something, please reach out to the Darkroom Officer ASAP, and they will confer with the committee to decide if funds can be allotted or if a supplemental grant is needed. Requests will be considered and the committee or Darkroom Officer will reach out when there is a decision.
