The Green Fund

Current students, faculty, and staff of the University of California, Berkeley, may apply for grant funds up to $10,000. Students must be enrolled and on campus regularly for the expected duration of their proposed project. A department; official campus organization; group made up of a mix of students, staff and faculty; or class may apply, but the application must be submitted by an individual. That individual will be responsible for reporting on progress for projects that are funded by the CGCF grant program.

Funds are intended for labor, materials, and supplies to achieve the project goals. Preference will be given to grant requests for materials and supplies.
Money will not be granted for travel expenses, food or entertainment.

CACS will help provide ongoing support to grantees in the form of a "support partner." This partner will aid in problem-solving and the grantee is expected to communicate with the support partner about their project at least once monthly. The grantee is also required to make a formal update to CACS in February, 2008.

Projects must be initiated in a timely manner and completed by the end of the calendar year. Any funds not expended by December 31, 2007 will return to CGCF.
