The Green EDGE Fund
About Us
Our Mission
The mission of the Green EDGE Fund is to support sustainability within the Oberlin College and City Community through the development, financial investment, and implementation of projects that protect social equity, lessen our impact on the natural world, and build community resilience.
Who are we?
The Green EDGE Fund is a student board that finances and generates projects within the Oberlin College and City Community that promote environmental sustainability, environmental education, and resource conservation by allocating sustainability grants, efficiency loans, and carbon management funds.
Our Definition of Sustainability
We define sustainability as the ability of social and ecological systems to maintain equilibrium, balance, and resilience. This practice incorporates a framework of community-determined, long-lasting, self-sustaining, and educational mechanisms that seek to achieve equitable access, thoughtful use, and conservation of resources.
