The Eco Fund awards funds to student RSO leaders, individual students, and DeCal leaders working on projects related to environmental justice and environmentalism. This Spring, we are accepting funding requests from 02/10/2025 to 04/18/2025. Grants will be provided as reimbursements for purchases already made.
Please review the SERC Eco Fund Purchasing Guidelines and Resources(link is external) doc before applying.
Fill out our google form. All instructions and details are listed on the form. (Due to institutional delays, funding will take around 4-6 weeks to reach you after your application is submitted.)
If you have any questions about the Eco Fund, please email serc@berkeley.edu.
Since 2021, the Eco Fund has dispersed $25,714 to 125 students and student leaders for requests covering costs ranging from a bag of soil, music fundraising festivals, binoculars, to textbooks.
Please note, we have a hard cap of $400 for group requests and $200 for individual requests. Applications will be reviewed biweekly starting September. We aim to notify applicants of their application status within 2 weeks of submission.
