The Green Municipal Fund (GMF) is dedicated to funding local sustainability projects that accelerate the adoption of climate solutions in municipalities. They prioritize five sectors: energy, waste, transportation, land use, and water. GMF provides funding that can cover 50 to 80 percent of eligible project costs.

Their funding types include grants for planning, studies, pilot projects, and loans for capital projects, with most recipients receiving an additional grant of up to 15% of their loan amount. GMF offers support at every stage of project development, from initial planning to full-scale implementation. Canadian municipal governments and project partners, including private-sector entities, not-for-profit organizations, and Indigenous communities, are eligible to apply for funding.

GMF accepts applications year-round through a two-stage process, beginning with a pre-application form to determine project eligibility.
