Who We Are
Growing Green for UIC is a fundraising campaign that aims to provide a space where prospective UIC donors can learn about and donate to sustainability on campus. With over 100 different funds in various UIC colleges and departments that relate in some way to environmentalism and sustainability, we’re hoping to increase giving to all of these funds under one umbrella.
Inspired by the goals of UIC’s Climate Action Implementation Plan, Growing Green for UIC was pioneered by the Office of Planning, Sustainability, and Project Mangementment and creates for our university community a platform to promote and connect environmental literacy with community engagement and expanded sustainability learning and giving opportunities.
Launched as part of the University of Illinois Foundation’s UIDEA program, Growing Green for UIC is managed by the offices of sustainability and advancement at UIC in partnership with units across campus, with over 100 different funds in various colleges and departments that relate in some way to environmentalism and sustainability.
Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to work hand-in-hand to raise awareness and assist in meeting our needs without compromising the ability of our future generations to meet their needs. empower UIC students, faculty, and our community to create a more sustainable future for UIC, the city of Chicago, our state, and our world.
