On Jan. 9, at the council's final meeting of the term, the CLC will report back to the council on the results of the bidding process.
Council Vice President Kamil E. Redmond '00 said she was "fairly confident" the council could raise $10,000 from corporations and other student groups to fund Springfest.
But in the past, the College has been wary of allowing the council to acquire private endorsements for the spring event.
Also last night, the council adopted FiCom's recommendations for how to disperse grant money to student groups.
The council gave out over $41,000 from its own funds and decided which groups would get the equivalent of over $4,500 of food donated by Harvard University Dining Services.
One-term grants for the past semester averaged about $250, and year-long grants averaged about $500.
The allocations went largely unchallenged, although the council voted down several motions by Michael A. Hill '02, a Winthrop House representative, to increase funding for the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance (BGLTSA).
Hill is the co-chair of BGLTSA.
