Municipalities deliver essential services and infrastructure that support Canadians’ quality of life. From the roads and bridges that keep people and goods moving, to the treatment plants that make our water safe to drink, local governments are building better lives for residents.
We are offering grants to help your municipality strengthen its asset management practices. This will help you make the most of every infrastructure dollar. It will help you secure the future of your transportation systems, drinking water and wastewater systems, buildings and other key infrastructure. It will equip you to continue providing your community with reliable services and a high quality of life.
FCM’s Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) funding will be especially helpful if you are a small or medium-sized community.
Watch this brief video to learn more about this our funding and determine whether your municipality qualifies, then read our application guide below for details on how to apply.
Apply on your own or team up with another municipality to qualify for an increased percentage of funding support. You can apply if you’ve previously received MAMP funding, but read the application guide for details on second-time applicants. Quebec applicants must submit their application to Quebec's Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation first.
