The NAU Green Fund

The Green Fund is NAU’s main source for sustainability funding. University students, staff, and faculty may submit project proposals, which are reviewed and selected for funding by our committee of six students supported by staff and faculty advisors. Projects are supported by the $15 per student, per semester Green Fee, which adds up to a yearly budget that is upwards of $600,000. The Green Fund allows students to utilize fee money to make campus a better place for themselves, their peers, and future students.

We provide funding for projects that reduce the university’s environmental footprint and galvanize a culture of sustainability on campus.
