MVP Action Grant Overview

Action Grants are open to municipalities who have received “MVP Community” designation from EEA by completing an MVP plan through the original MVP Planning Grant process or being designated for prior work in line with the original MVP Planning Grant process. Communities with MVP plans dated December 2018 and earlier must also have applied to the MVP Planning 2.0 grant in 2023, 2024, or 2025.

Beyond municipalities who have achieved “MVP Community” status, Action Grants are also open to other Commonwealth “political subdivisions” and any authorities, commissions, boards, and instrumentalities of those eligible entities. Such eligible entities should apply for projects that align with priorities in an MVP-approved municipal climate resilience plan and should also include a letter of support from the municipality/ies related to the project. Tribal governments are also eligible.

All projects are required to provide monthly updates, project deliverables, and a brief project case study communicating lessons learned. The municipality is also required to match 10% of total project cost using cash or in-kind contributions (see RFR for exceptions). 

The MVP program has 10 MVP Core Principles that should be incorporated into MVP Action Grant applications.
