MVP Planning 2.0 grant applications due Dec. 15

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs is accepting proposals through Dec. 15 for the fiscal 2026/27 round of the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Planning 2.0 grant.

The MVP 2.0 grant is a revamped planning grant opportunity that builds on previously developed resilience priorities. The MVP 2.0 process focuses on equity and uses new tools and resources to build local and regional resilience to climate change.

Communities with MVP plans dated between June and December of 2018 will receive priority consideration for funding this round. (This applies to Adams, Buckland, Concord, Essex, Falmouth, Gloucester, Gosnold, Grafton, Lanesborough, Lawrence, Littleton, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Marblehead, Marion, Mendon, Millbury, Monterey, Newbury, Newton, Norton, Norwood, Sandwich, Shrewsbury, Southwick, Stow, Wareham, Weymouth, Williamstown and Winthrop.)

The recording of an Oct. 30 webinar hosted by the MVP team, and its slides, provide an overview of the grant opportunity. A new MVP 2.0 Video Series incorporates the perspectives of recent MVP 2.0 participants.

Applications should be submitted through the EEA Grants Management System.

Additional information is available on the MVP Program website, along with an MVP 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions resource. Questions can also be directed to a community’s respective MVP Regional Coordinator.
