Green Grants
The Sustainability Task Force is now accepting Expressions of Interest to fund campus sustainability projects for the fifth round of Green Grants — competitive funding awards for faculty-, student- and staff-led projects that spark the imagination of the university community and advance our leadership in local and global environmental scholarship and practice.
Green Grants support projects that improve operational environmental performance, foster eco-literacy and community engagement, advance applied research goals, and demonstrate the viability of best practices and technologies.
Application process details and guidelines can be found in our Application Toolkit.
