Green Action Funding Process

Below is a short description of the process from start to finish of a project proposal:

• The Idea
  It all starts with an idea of how to make UCCS more sustainable. As long as the student, faculty, or staff member has an idea that links to sustainability and moving UCCS forward, they may submit a project application within the academic year.
   
• Project Liaisons
  Once an idea is formulated, the project proposer is encouraged to contact the Green Action Fund Grant Coordinator. They will guide the proposer through the process and help fine tune their proposal to make it strong in terms of the five pillars the committee uses to rate the project for potential funding.
   
• Grant Applications
  After initial discussions with the Green Action Fund Grant Coordinator, the project may be submitted to the GAF committee for review. The application is evaluated based on its contribution to each of the following GAF pillars and the University's Sustainability Strategic Plan

1. Reach out to the Grant Coordinator at st-sus01@uccs.edu with your project idea. 
2. Read Funding Guidelines
3. Review Memorandum of Understanding
