The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) is a grant-making fund for student led sustainability projects on campus. It is funded by a per semester student fee approved by the student body. Projects are selected for funding by an annually appointed Grant Making Committee consisting of students, faculty, and staff.
Get Involved
The Green Initiative Fund was first passed at UC Santa Barbara in 2006 and has since been passed on campuses across California. We encourage you to bring TGIF to your campus.
