A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) is a grant-making fund for sustainability projects on UCLA's campus. Roughly, $200,000 per year is available for student-initiated sustainability projects on campus. Projects will be selected for funding by an annually appointed Grant Making Committee consisting of students, faculty, and staff in which students have the majority vote. TGIF is funded by a $4 per quarter student fee beginning in Fall 2008 and persisting for 10 years. The fee referendum was overwhelmingly approved by the student body during the May 2008 USAC elections with 75% voting in favor.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
The TGIF Committee is chaired by the USAC Facilities Commissioner and includes cross representation of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as staff stakeholders.
