A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:

The Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) is comprised of multiple student and advisory positions. This structure was designed to give full student control over the Fund. The CSF Coordinator and the CSF Outreach Coordinator manage the oversight of the Fund, receive applications, and functions as chief liaisons between the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Washington and the CSF Committee. The allocation of the Fund is administered by the CSF Committee. The committee consists of seven student voting members and three ex-officio, non-voting advisors. These advisors include faculty and staff appointed by the faculty senate, associate vice president of facilities services, and the provost.
Project criteria include feasibility & accountability; applicants must demonstrate that they have or can attain the technical knowledge, necessary approvals, and project management skills to complete projects successfully. The Fund encourages the use of a faculty or staff mentor, appropriate department support, and/or a line item in the budget for project management.
