Kresge Announces New Higher Green Building Standards for Challenge-grant Applicants in Higher Education
Beginning in June 2010, Kresge will only award capital challenge grants to colleges and universities building environmentally sustainable facilities.
May 22, 2009 — The Kresge Foundation announced today that it is raising the bar on green building requirements for challenge grants awarded to applicants in the higher-education sector.
Effective June 2010, the foundation will only consider proposals for facilities-capital grants from colleges and universities that plan to use the funding for building projects – new construction, renovations, and expansions – that meet the Silver or higher level certification standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design (LEED) program or an equivalent rating agency.
