Green Fund proposal options
The Green Fund offers two separate grant funding opportunities to current students, faculty, and staff at Florida State University:
- The Green Fund accepts proposals from FSU students, staff, and faculty members. Projects must align with FSU Sustainability Strategic Plan goals and should result in high-impact experiences for the campus community.
- Living Lab grants are available to faculty members in support of the Campus as a Living Laboratory (Living Lab) initiative.
