A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :

The Campus Sustainability Fund is a student managed, student funded green fee which allocates approximately $300,000 annually to student designed sustainability projects at the University of Washington Seattle campus. The fund places students in leadership positions where they gain hands on skills in project management, grant writing, and project implementation. The CSF also allows students the opportunity to integrate their research and academic studies into real life applications. The CSF has funded projects such as a one acre expansion of the UW Farm, bicycle repair stations, owl boxes, a green wall, a bioswale, a biodiesel cooperative, the Real Food Challenge, and much more. Information on the CSF can be found at http://csf.washington.edu
