Bright Idea about Sustainability? Get Funded!

Join an idea revolution by applying for a Sustainable CU grant.


Sustainable CU is an Environmental Center grant fund promoting innovative, student-led sustainability projects on the CU campus. For the 2011-2012 school year, Sustainable CU will offer support for small projects (up to $2500) and large-scale capital projects (amounts greater than $2500) through two separate applications.  The program pays for infrastructure, contractor fees, consumables, equipment rentals, and similar expenses, but does not provide stipends to applicants.

Small-project deadlines are the first Friday of each month, from October to March. Large projects are accepted on an annual basis; the deadline is November 7th. Approximately $125,000 is available for disbursement.

The current application is available at ecenter.colorado.edu/greening-cu/sustainable-cu
