March 29, 2024 - The Sustainability program at CSUCI launched a Green Revolving Fund
in 2023, a resource that unlocks funding for students and employees to propose and
implement new sustainability initiatives. The fund drives tangible environmental benefits
and fosters a culture of stewardship and responsibility at CSUCI.
The Green Revolving Fund can be used for water and energy saving efforts, like upgrading
to high-efficiency lighting, installing water-saving shower heads, replacing energy-intensive
equipment, and other utility saving projects. This new fund is opening doors for more
people to contribute to the campus' sustainability goals while making a tangible and
personal impact.
Projects submitted for consideration must meet specific standards and show clear energy
or water savings to reduce utility expenses. These projects should be implemented
on campus, not elsewhere. Additionally, they must be capable of repaying 120% of the
loan amount within five years, indicating their effectiveness in saving money.
All students, faculty, and staff are eligible and encouraged to apply by the April
15 deadline. To learn more and apply for funds, visit the Green Revolving Fund website or email Sustainability at CSUCI at sustainableCI@csuci.edu.
