Green Municipal Fund – Rapid Adaptation Projects: Adaptation in Action │ Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)

June 23, 2026

Value

Grant for 70-100%* of eligible costs; Up to a maximum of $75,000

Description

Rapid Adaptation Projects provide grants of up to $75,000 for tangible solutions that provide immediate risk reduction. To support communities with limited staff capacity, we have streamlined the application process by focusing on a pre-selected list of high-impact, eligible activities. This allows communities to bypass complex business cases and move straight to action.

Eligible Applicants

The following organizations are eligible for GMF funding:

  • Canadian municipal governments (e.g., towns, cities, regions, districts and local boards) with a population of less than 50,000
  • Indigenous communities if:
    • They have municipal status under provincial or territorial law
    • A shared service agreement exists with a municipality for infrastructure or climate action
    • The project is delivered in partnership with a municipal government
  • Municipal partners, which include:
    • Municipally owned corporations
    • Regional, provincial or territorial organizations delivering municipal services
    • Non-governmental organizations
    • Not-for-profit organizations
    • Research institutes (e.g., universities)

Note: municipal partners must deliver projects in partnership with a municipality.

Eligible Expenses

To qualify for funding, proposed activities must help local governments deliver quick-wins solutions that reduce exposure to climate change impacts. They should be:

  • A new adaptation project: The project must be incremental and completed within the next two years. Costs for expenditures incurred before project submission are not eligible for reimbursement.
  • Proven and replicable: Activities must be selected from the pre-identified focus areas and correspond to the specific climate risk context of the community
  • Scientifically or traditionally grounded: Proposals must align with climate risks or adaptation actions identified in a municipal or provincial risk assessment, or a climate adaptation plan.
  • Environmentally responsible: Projects and their ongoing maintenance must remain the responsibility of the local government.

Deadline Date

Funding available: May 27 – June 23, 2026 and October 6 – November 10, 2026.
