Green Initiatives Board

The Green Initiatives Board (GIB) was established by the Student Government Association in the Spring of 2021 to manage the allocation of supplemental funding towards undergraduate students and organizations using the Green Initiatives Fund. Our fund supports the implementation of sustainable practices and programming on campus, intending to eliminate financial barriers that often make sustainable alternatives inaccessible and encourage widespread adoption of environmentally responsible practices. The Board ensures our funding is used responsibly and can look to raise money to maintain the Fund’s balance. If you are looking for funding from GIB, there’s more information available here.
