Green Municipal Fund – Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC) | Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)

October 15, 2024

Value

Up to a maximum of $10 million in project funding. Up to a maximum of $1 million in infrastructure activity funding.

Description

GMF’s Growing Canada’s Community Canopies (GCCC) initiative funds planting the right type of trees in the right places so that communities across Canada can grow, manage and protect their tree canopies. When communities plant trees they benefit from carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity, and better climate resilience and well-being. To qualify for tree planting funding, your project must contribute to the planting of new trees with municipal government involvement and accountability. As tree planting benefits communities in diverse ways, projects with planting that supports environmental, economic and social objectives will be more likely to receive funding.
