Vote Yes to increase SAF’s Fee Levy from $0.25 to $0.50 per credit, to further support sustainability projects!

Why do we need an increase?

  1. To increase the amount of funding opportunities in our Special Projects Fund and Diversify our funding streams.
  2. To augment the Sustainability Research Awards scholarship program by offering more scholarships.
  3. To increase wages and staff development to ensure current and evolving living wages are being met.

  • Awarded $658,699.70 to projects.
