Green Fund

The Green Fund seeks to provide a source of funding for creative, student-driven projects that aim to make Stanford a more sustainable campus and promote environmental awareness. The Green Fund student group is a part of Students for a Sustainable Stanford.

What is the Green Fund?
The Stanford Green Fund aims to be a comprehensive resource for Stanford students trying to implement green projects. It includes a $20,000 - $40,000 fund earmarked specifically for student-driven sustainability projects. The Green Fund will also serve as a resource that connects students with staff and faculty for guidance and support on their projects. We aim to make the university more sustainable by funding student-led pilot sustainability projects and community-wide outreach. We strive to effect large-scale change through student action.

What is the Grant Making Committee?
The Green Fund Grant Making Committee is the governing body of the Green Fund. As a member of the Grant Making Committee you will be one among a committee of seven decision-makers who choose and evaluate student projects. You will also work closely with key staff members across campus including the Executive Director of the Department of Sustainability and Energy Management, Joe Stagner, to enable projects on campus in which students are involved.

What is the structure of the Grant Making Committee?
The Grant Making Committee will consist of four students, two staff members, and one faculty member. The Sustainability Working Group will independently choose two of the students on the committee. The other two students will by chosen by the Green Living Council.
