GMF helps Canadian municipalities switch to climate solutions, faster.
About us
Delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Green Municipal Fund (GMF) is a $1.65 billion endowment from the Government of Canada that helps municipalities switch to climate solutions faster. Municipalities influence about half of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. For two decades, GMF has worked along-side municipal governments to drive lasting environmental change, improve quality of life for residents, and drive sustainable economic growth in communities across Canada. GMF’s core funding supports plans, feasibility studies and pilot projects in land use, energy transportation, waste and water. We recently launched the following four initiatives to scale up cost-saving energy-efficiency solutions: 1) Community Buildings Retrofit (CBR) supports local governments and not-for-profit organizations in retrofitting public buildings to improve energy performance, lower operating and maintenance costs, and transition to cleaner energy solutions over time. 2) Community Efficiency Financing (CEF) helps municipalities deliver energy financing programs for low-rise residential properties. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), utility on-bill financing and third-party lending partnerships are examples of financing models used by municipalities delivering residential energy programming. 3) Sustainable Affordable Housing (SAH) supports local affordable housing providers – including municipal, not-for-profit organizations and housing co-ops – to retrofit existing units or build new units that emit lower GHG emissions. 4) The Low Carbon Cities Canada (LC3) network is a partnership with seven of Canada’s largest cities to support municipalities as they reach their carbon emissions reduction potential while improving public health, creating jobs and building resilient communities.

With 98 homes already retrofitted 🏡, each household is saving an estimated 1,771 litres of fuel annually. This project enhances year-round comfort and shows how small communities can drive energy efficiency and climate action.
