What is the NAU Green Fund?<\/strong> The Green Fund is NAU\u2019s main source of sustainability funding, supported by the $15 per student, per semester Green Fee. Students, staff, and faculty may submit project proposals, which are reviewed by a committee of students, staff and faculty advisors. The Green Fund empowers students to use fee money to improve campus for themselves, their peers, and future Lumberjacks.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The NAU Green Fund promotes student participation in and provides funding for projects that reduce NAU\u2019s negative impact on the environment and create a culture of sustainability on-campus.<\/em> <\/div><\/div>\n

Why should you submit a proposal to the Green Fund?<\/strong> Applying for a Green Fund proposal is an opportunity to create meaningful change on campus while building valuable skills for your future. By leading a project, you\u2019ll gain hands-on experience in planning, budgeting, and collaboration, while seeing your ideas move from concept to reality. Along the way, you\u2019ll deepen your understanding of sustainability by addressing real environmental challenges and learning how to make a lasting impact.<\/p>\n

How does the proposal process work?<\/strong> The Green Fund process starts with submitting an idea summary and receiving feedback from the committee. You\u2019ll then work on your proposal with our guidance and submit it for review. An optional meeting can be scheduled to discuss your idea. Once approved, you\u2019ll begin your project, check in with the committee throughout, and share your results when finished. The Green Fund is here to support you \u2014 reach out anytime at GreenFund@nau.edu.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Green Fund will stop meeting on May 1st as the end of the academic semester approaches. Most applications will not be accepted after April 24th until the fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n
