A brief description of the student-managed sustainable investment fund:

UMass Amherst established a Sustainability Innovation & Engagement Fund in August 2013. The fund started at $50,000 in available funds to allocate for the best sustainability engagement proposals on campus and is open to any campus community member. The proposals are vetted by the Student Steering Committee which includes student leaders from sustainability related registered student organizations (RSO's), Sustainable UMass, and Student Government Association.
