Over the last decade, \"green funds\" have emerged at many colleges and universities as an alternative financial mechanism for funding sustainability initiatives. The creation of these funds is generally initiated by student groups as self-imposed mandatory fees and approved by senior administrators or boards of trustees. These green fees are intended to fund projects that would not be financed by an institution's general funds as well as foster collaborative activity across the campus. Once the green fees are approved and collected the real work begins. Who should allocate the investment of these fees? How should projects be selected? Who should manage and maintain green-fee-funded projects? What needs to happen behind the scenes? How is continuity and institutional knowledge managed over time? This panel will discuss how students can initiate and drive a campaign to institute a student fee, how to transition from campaign to running the program after passage, the lessons learned in developing and maintaining green funds, internal administrative hurdles to be overcome, and the role that sustainability directors, students, and staff play in implementing green fund projects. Attendees will learn how to use funds from a small student-fee increase to save energy and money, leverage more funding, and create jobs while driving campus sustainability initiatives. Each panel member has played a key leadership role in developing and administering their school's green fund and will share their insights and experiences.
