The Northern Arizona University Green Fund supports projects, initiated by university students, staff, and faculty, that reduce the environmental impact of campus operations and promote a culture of sustainability. Funding comes from a $15 per semester Green Fee, which adds up to a budget that is upwards of $600,000; these funds are overseen by a student committee that is supported by staff and faculty members.
