Who are we?

At Pitt, Sustainability teams include students, faculty, and staff focused on balancing equity, environment, and economics so current and future generations can thrive.

Established in 2010, the student-run Pitt Green Fund is an important leader in Pitt’s campus sustainability ecosystem, focused on advancing the University's sustainability goals by funding initiatives created by Pitt students to the benefit of the entire Pitt community.

In 2024, all Pitt Day of Giving donations to Sustainability will be directed to the Pitt Green Fund.  All donations will support Pitt Green Fund’s work and collaborations with the University’s Office of Sustainability, Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation, Student Office of Sustainability, and Center for Sustainable Business.

Donations are applied to...

Pitt Green Fund supports dozens of student-led sustainability projects annually! In 2023, Pitt Green Fund supported diversity & equity internships, residence hall detergent sheet pilot, pollinator gardens, SOOS mini greenhouse, sustainable menstrual product giveaways, and sustainable engineering efforts including the Carbon Footprint Calculator and Pittsburgh Electric Propulsion. Often we partner with other sustainability groups on campus.

Why are donations necessary?

As student passion for sustainability continues to grow, so does the need for resources to support these large-scale impactful projects that aim to benefit the community, advance University sustainability goals, and ultimately teach students how to incorporate sustainability into their lives. 

For a Greener Tomorrow

Thank you for your generosity, which will allow Pitt Green Fund to support larger and more impactful sustainability initiatives on campus!
