Greenfund is run by the Student Sustainability and Environmental Affairs director through Student Government Association. This student facilitates the meeting however cannot vote on projects. The committee is made up of 8-15 students. Greenfund meetings have the applicants present their case and students deliberate whether or not to fund the project.
