Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC)

The Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) is a premier collaborative hub founded in 2009 by Alberta Municipalities, Rural Municipalities of Alberta, and the Government of Alberta. Its mission is to empower Alberta municipalities, school authorities, and community-related organizations to address climate change through a specialized suite of funding programs, technical advisory services, and educational resources. By focusing on three core objectives—lowering energy costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving climate resilience—the MCCAC has successfully catalyzed more than 1,100 projects across the province. Through flagship initiatives such as the Community Energy Conservation program and the Municipal Electricity Generation program, the Centre enables communities of all sizes to navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy. The organization’s impact is evidenced by millions of dollars in annual energy savings and a significant reduction in lifetime carbon footprints, fostering sustainable development and economic growth within the municipal sector.
