Two objectives of the Social Solutions Fund are to:

UNA/AMS Community Sustainability Fund
Projects submitted to the community fund may apply for up to $10,000.
The Community Sustainability Fund is collaboratively funded by the AMS and the University Neighbourhood Association (UNA). The Community Sustainability Fund is intended to enhance student research and project opportunities in UNA neighbourhoods on the UBC Point Grey Campus. It is open to students aiming to complete a sustainability project set in a UNA neighbourhood or that furthers goals of building a cohesive campus community between students and UNA residents.

These projects will need to meet all the requirements of the AMS Sustainability Fund submission process and further need to demonstrate that they target UNA neighborhoods or are beneficial to UNA residents. Projects that identify a university faculty or staff member, have other funding sources or involve UNA residents or businesses will be considered favorably.
