The NAU Green Fund

The Northern Arizona University Green Fund is NAU’s main source for sustainability funding. The Green Fund provides funding for projects that reduce the university’s environmental footprint and galvanize a culture of sustainability on campus. 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 their fee money to make campus a better place for themselves, their peers, and future students.

Our Vision:

Implementing student-led projects and developing campus-wide partnerships to drive visionary, impactful, and sustainable initiatives and serve as a leading example in higher education
