Kresge Foundation to Require LEED Silver for Matching Grants
In addition to its recent partnering with Second Nature (to assist under-resourced institutions with green building) the Kresge Foundation will require, beginning June 2010, that any "proposals for facilities-capital grants from colleges and universities that plan to use the funding for building projects – new construction, renovations, and expansions" meet minimum LEED Silver standards.

About Campus Sustainability Day
Campus Sustainability Day was founded in 2002 as part of the Society for College and University Planning's early efforts—working with Second Nature—to support cross-departmental, cross-disciplinary, cross-functional, integrated campus planning for sustainability. A lot has happened in this area since 2002, and now—although SCUP continues to provide the cornerstone high-quality webcast for Campus Sustainability Day—this network and the day itself are a collaboration between many organizations, including HEASC members and the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Project.
