Driving down emissions through continuous investments.

Temple University established a Green Revolving Fund in 2019 to support investment in efficiency projects. While Temple has a history of investing in projects to reduce ongoing operational costs and help achieve the institutions' climate goals, the establishment of the Green Revolving Fund has allowed Temple to invest in projects that might not have otherwise been funded.

What is a Green Revolving Fund?

A Green Revolving Fund (GRF) is an internal fund that supports sustainability projects that can generate cost savings. The fund is replenished with the savings from the projects, rebates, grants, and donations. This allows Temple to continue funding similar projects in the future.
