The Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund (GMF) offers three funding opportunities through its Adaptation in Action programs to help communities assess, plan, and implement projects that reduce climate risks.
Rapid Adaptation Projects: Adaptation in Action offers grants of up to $75,000 to small and rural municipalities, eligible Indigenous communities, and eligible municipal partners working with a municipality. Funding supports practical measures to address wildfire, flooding, extreme heat, and community facility resilience. Projects must be completed within two years.
Deadline: November 10, 2026
Implementation Projects: Adaptation in Action supports municipalities and eligible partner organizations implementing larger climate adaptation projects, with eligible project expenses of up to $1 million. Examples include flood protection, wildfire mitigation, green infrastructure, wetland restoration and resilient public facilities. Projects must be completed within three years.
Deadline: November 10, 2026
Feasibility Study: Adaptation in Action provides grants of up to $70,000 to municipalities, First Nations and municipal-owned organizations to assess the technical, financial, legal and operational feasibility of proposed climate adaptation projects. Studies must address a priority climate risk and assess projects that could qualify for implementation funding, with eligible implementation costs of no more than $1 million.
Deadline: December 15, 2026
