The Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program is accepting Expression of Interest forms through Nov. 1 for its fiscal 2026 Action Grant round.
Action Grants offer financial assistance to municipalities and Native American tribes seeking to address climate change impacts and implement priority climate adaptation measures.
An Expression of Interest is not required, but preparing one allows potential applicants to receive feedback on up to two MVP Action Grant project ideas. The MVP staff will review submissions on a rolling basis, though earlier submissions will be prioritized and could receive feedback from other state agencies.
This process is intended to help design competitive applications, but does not guarantee that a project will be funded.
Feedback on project ideas will be provided ahead of formal applications between January and March next year. The fiscal 2026 Request for Responses period is tentatively set for spring of 2025.
The program’s website states that the MVP team “will take compliance with Section 3A of M.G.L. Ch. 40A (i.e., MBTA Communities) into account when making grant award recommendations after the formal application closes in Spring 2025.”
The Expression of Interest form and more information are available on the MVP program website.
