• Intentional, effective, and strategic implementation of CGF projects.
• Less Eco-Clutter on our campuses. • Achieving strong sustainability branding and minimizing green-
washing.
The Campus Green Fund Collaborative (CGFC) is a non-registered group of campus sustainability staff involved in coordinating and managing green funds on their
respective campuses. The CGFC’s intentions are to:
• Share Resources • Listen • Publish a Campus Green Fund Implementation Guide
We want your input!
• Design & Campaign
• Implementation & Management
• Evaluation & Reporting
• Education & Outreach
1. VISION: What your fund should do
2. RESEARCH: What others have done
3. PROPOSAL: The formal outline of what your fund will do
4. SUPPORT: Building a coalition around campus
5. CAMPAIGN: Proving widespread public support
6. EVALUATE: Congratulations and move forward vs. re-
grouping and begin again
