APPLY FOR
GREEN GRANTÂ
Our Mission.
The GCAP Green Grant supplies student organizations with up to $4,000 in funding for environmental conservation/sustainability projects. However, applicants are welcome to request more funds and the GCAP Committee will assess whether a budget of more than $4,000 can be provided.
We encourage undergraduate student clubs and organizations from all majors, backgrounds, and career goals to engage in sustainability initiatives and education within their own spheres of influence, and to apply for the GCAP Green Grant in helping them achieve their sustainability goals and initiatives.
TIMELINE.
The earlier you submit your application, the faster you will receive your fund allocation if approved. We accept Green Grant applications all year long. Your hearing date will be the week following your application submission, contingent on committee approval.
