Update on June 21st, 2016: The CSF Committee has just voted to fund one final Mini Grant. This brings the new total to $324,466 awarded to twenty-two projects.
After an exciting sixth year of applications and committee deliberations, we are pleased to announce that $323,486 has been awarded to twenty-one CSF projects. Each project aligns with the CSF's mission to lessen the University's environmental impact and foster a more environmentally-conscious campus culture. If you are interested in getting involved with the CSF either by applying for funding, joining our committee or volunteering, please email Veronica Guenther at uwcsf@uw.edu.
