Environmental Stewardship Fund

What is the Campus Environmental Stewardship Fund?

Created in 2005, the Campus Environmental Stewardship Fund encourages and enables faculty, staff, and other donors to help make the Knoxville  campus an outstanding example of environmental leadership.

What does the Fund do?

The money in the Fund is used in projects and initiatives throughout campus, closely matching the use of the Student Environmental Initiatives Fee. Some uses for the money include purchasing Green Power, purchasing hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles, and installing energy-efficient heating and lighting systems, as well as promoting energy conservation on campus.

How Can I Help?

UT faculty and staff can contribute to the Fund directly from each paycheck. Your gifts will be used for the efforts described above and more to help UT make continuing strides to reduce energy usage and pollution while increasing environmental awareness on campus.

Contributing to the fund is easy!
