The Green Fund was founded in 2010.
A group of students came together to make the Green Fund in order to promote sustainability on campus.
The Green Fund funds projects, research and events on the Flagstaff Mountain campus and in the Flagstaff area that are related to sustainability.
The Green Fund receives a budget of nearly $600,000 per year through the $15 Green Fee that students pay every semester.
All students, staff and faculty at the NAU Flagstaff Mountain campus can request Green Fund funding.
The Green Fund accepts applications for research, projects and events at any time, but only reviews them during the regular fall and spring semesters at their weekly meetings.
The Green Fund is composed of 8 committee members and 4 faculty and staff advisors.
The Green Fund committee member positions are as follows: two co-chairs, PR specialist, secretary, treasurer, impact analyst, community outreach coordinator, and graduate student representative.
Students apply for different committee member positions as they become available and are hired by the Office of Sustainability.
The Green Fund is not a club, but rather a funding body for sustainability on campus.
The Green Fund is overseen by the Arizona Board of Regents.
The Green Fund is housed under the Office of Sustainability at NAU.
