A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
In the summer of 2011, the Mason administration approved the creation of the Patriot Green Fund (PGF), which is a $100,000 per year sustainability fund. The funds are provided by Mason Facilities to make Mason’s campuses more sustainable through infrastructure improvements and student research projects.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
One of the most unique and innovative components of the PGF is the emphasis it places on student participation. Students comprise the majority of the PGF Committee and all undergraduate and graduate students can apply for funding to lead their own projects when supported by a mentor.
