FAQs

What is happening?

FCM’s Green Municipal Fund (GMF) is getting its own website to better serve your sustainability needs. Over the past two years, GMF has seen significant growth and demand for our funding and resources. We’re proud to offer a new central destination to access GMF learning content, apply for GMF funding and learn about the impact GMF is making from coast to coast to coast. This information hub will enable FCM and GMF to keep working directly with municipalities to help them switch to sustainable practices faster than ever.   

What will be different about the new site?

GMF’s new site will offer easy ways to find funding, engage with our learning content and celebrate the successes of the municipalities who deliver on GMF-funded projects. We’re excited for you to explore a few key areas:

• Find funding for your project, faster and easier than ever.
  • Self-assess with a few short questions to discover GMF funding that could fit your project. Receive personalized recommendations for project funding in only a few minutes. Then, easily connect with GMF staff to take the next step.
  • Take advantage of our streamlined funding library to find the right funding for your community. 
• Discover valuable resources that can jump-start your sustainability journey.
  • Our new Learning Centre is a hub of useful information. Access technical experts, self-paced learning and like-minded peers. Find relevant guides and tools with a few clicks, then attend online and in-person events to network, learn and connect with industry experts.
• See what other municipalities are doing—and how you can replicate their successes.
  • Get inspired by more than 200 case studies showing best practices and lessons learned. Learn from other projects like yours. See what other municipalities are doing in your region or across Canada. Then, jump straight into relevant resources and funding to help you follow in the footsteps of their successes. 

How will I access the new site?

Simply visit greenmunicipalfund.ca to access everything GMF has to offer. You’ll also be able to go to the site through FCM.ca by clicking GMF-related links in the main menu. GMF funding and resources will still be available in FCM libraries, but searching through greenmunicipalfund.ca will offer an experience that’s optimized for GMF content.

When will the new site launch?

You’ll be able to explore greenmunicipalfund.ca in Summer 2022.
