An interdepartmental Sustainability Grant Review Committee reviews the applications on a quarterly basis. This team works to ensure that applications are fully aligned with organizational efforts, including LEAP and the Strategic Plan. The team also works to ensure that projects are well planned and that all the appropriate information is included on the application.
For assistance with writing your grant, please contact [email protected]
Within one week of your submission, you will receive an email from the Sustainability Administrator letting you know if there are any additional documents that should be submitted.
At the end of each quarter, the Sustainability Grant Review Committee will review all new applications potentially ask clarifying questions of the applicants. After review, the Committee will determine their status of each project: approved, denied, or request for resubmission. Requests for resubmission usually require additional details to be provided in order to have a more clear picture of the purpose of the project. Please allow up to one month after the close of each submission deadline for the status of your project.
If you have any questions about the review process, please contact [email protected]
