The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is seeking project proposals to distribute $1.1 million in grants for climate planning projects to small communities with populations of less than 10,000.
Donor Name: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
State: Minnesota
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 11/20/2025
Size of the Grant: More than $1 million
Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned
Details:
This funding provides an opportunity for these communities to assess vulnerabilities and begin planning for the effects of Minnesota’s changing climate in three areas:
- increased resilience to stormwater and reduce localized flood risk
- improved resilience of wastewater systems
- reduced human health effects and adapt community services, ordinances, and public spaces to the changing climate
The effects of climate change are being felt across the state from overwhelmed infrastructure, damaged property, dying trees, and culturally important native species to excessive heat, worsening air quality, and other health threats. Minnesota state government is partnering with local communities to assess needs, develop climate-adaptation plans, and make changes so that they are ready for what lies ahead.

Tribal Nations, cities, counties, towns/townships, soil and water conservation districts, water management organizations, public school districts, and water districts that have or serve populations under 10,000 are eligible to apply.
