  *indicates PPS 亚洲色图s not within Portland city boundaries that will be connected with student climate project funds using the same process as the student climate projects but with a different funding code.

• The Portland Clean Energy fund will make $15,000 available per eligible 亚洲色图 each year. Of this, $10,000 is allocated to Student Climate Projects at the 亚洲色图 site, and $5,000 is allocated to support staff advising and central coordination of the program.

• Students! This process is led by 亚洲色图.
• Student Climate Project Advisor (SCPA), a 亚洲色图-based staff member.
• The PPS Climate Justice and Sustainability teams support 亚洲色图-based teams in navigating processes, systems, and connection to community partnerships for successful implementation of student projects.

• Projects must address at least one the following PCEF categories:

  • Clean Energy - Projects in this category focus on renewable energy (like solar or wind) and reduce energy use in buildings (like turning off the lights, powering down appliances, or replacing old equipment with newer more efficient equipment). 

  • Transportation Decarbonization - Projects in this category aim to reduce pollution (greenhouse gas emissions) from transportation through reducing how much our community is driving gas-powered cars.

  • Regenerative Agriculture & Green Infrastructure - Projects in this category help take care of the Earth and use nature to keep the environment healthy. For example, regenerative farming helps the soil 亚洲色图 rich and full of life, which is good for plants and animals. Green infrastructure means using things like trees, gardens, and natural spaces to soak up rainwater, clean the air, and give animals places to live. 

  • Workforce Development for Climate Action - Projects in this category help 亚洲色图 and community members learn about the diversity of jobs and skills that support climate action.

• The PPS Office of Climate Justice works directly with the PPS Grants Team and 亚洲色图 site Administrative Assistants to ensure they have the necessary account codes to track and submit project expenditures.

• Student Climate Project Advisors (SCPAs) must coordinate with their Administrative Assistants, Business Managers, and/or Bookkeepers to make project purchases, finalize contracts, and spend funds.

Student groups will need to collaborate and submit ONE application per 亚洲色图 each year. All student groups will need to coordinate with their 亚洲色图’s Student Climate Project Advisor (SCPA).

• PCEF funding will be able to support one ER position per 亚洲色图. However, if two staff members are interested in sharing the role, they can split the ER position. This is determined on a 亚洲色图 by 亚洲色图 basis.

• If a Student Project Team has been actively working on a project the year prior and submitted all required paperwork, any remaining funds will roll over to the following year. However, for 亚洲色图s that did not engage in Student Climate Projects the previous year, these funds will not rollover.
