Sustainable CU calling for proposals

Hello world

The Sustainable CU fund, administered by the Environmental Center, is a portion of student fees used to implement on-campus projects incorporating renewable energy, energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, and other innovative projects to reduce CU Boulder's impact on climate and environment.

Sustainable CU grants are used for capital investment, the purchase of infrastructure necessary for the initiatives, installation of capital projects, educational displays related to the capital projects and any other non-staff operating costs associated with the initiatives. Particular attention is paid to initiatives created and led by students.

Request for proposals 2017–18
Approximately $100,000 is expected to be available for disbursement in two funding cycles, depending on the size of the project.
