Campus Sustainability Fund

Our 2025 - 2026 application cycle is open now! For questions, help with a proposal, or to set up a meeting with our Campus Sustainability Fund Coordinator, please email Emily Haworth at emilyhaworth@arizona.edu.

The Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) is a unique and non-traditional grant program of the Office of Sustainability and offers two types of grant opportunities: Mini Grants and Annual Grants. Eligible project proposals are diverse and can include projects that focus on biodiversity, ecological health, energy, water usage, cultivating resilience, increasing social capital, carbon emissions, waste reduction, and other efforts that meaningfully advance environmental and social sustainability on campus. Grants are selected by the student members of the CSF Committee.
