“The Green Fund is set up for students to succeed … [and] for their projects to be implemented.”

“Your fear as a student when you’re leaving is: I really hope that those four years that I put in was doing something… [You’re] trusting your community and the faculty and staff here at UW–Madison to continue that momentum. They really did, and it means so much to me that that’s happening, and it makes me so proud to be a Badger.”
—Katie Piel, Green Fund alum, speaking at Earth Fest 2024
