Application
Currently, the Green Fee Advisory Board (GFAB) is requesting proposals to fund sustainability, energy efficiency and conservation, and/or renewable energy projects on campus.
Approximately $100,000 is available to support proposals in 2013 that aid in establishing a sustainable campus environment by expanding such areas as composting, landscaping, and transportation initiatives while also reducing waste and conserving resources. This is separate from the funding of the Green Power program. Funding proposals must address the three pillars of sustainability - environmental protection, social equity, and economic benefit - and align with the goals of the UIC Climate Action Plan.
Who can apply
All UIC students and registered student organizations are eligible to apply. If needed, the GFAB will help provide access to campus resources and personnel to approve projects. GFAB can also suggest other entities that may provide funding or other assistance.
Application process
Applicants are required to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) by February 8, 2013. Following the review of LOIs, the GFAB will notify all applicants via email by late February if they have been selected to submit a full proposal.
Full proposals must be submitted by April 5, 2013. Grantees will be notified by the end of the semester. The committee reserves the right to issue a second call, directly invite one or more proposals of interest, and/or to hold funding for future years.
