CEBE has been contracted by the Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future as a Service Provider for Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership. This program helps Maine communities reduce emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change through direct support and Community Action Grants of up to $50,000. We work with up to five communities at a time to help them enroll in the Partnership and apply for their first Community Action Grant.

We are currently working with the towns of Canton, Harrison, Naples, and Temple, and we want to hear from you! We welcome community members to share ideas for building local climate resilience at one of our engagement meetings. Meeting summaries, upcoming meeting dates, and registration links are available below. 

Since 2022, we have brought over $900,000 into our region for climate resilience projects through our work with the towns of Bethel, Casco, Hanover, Hartford, Lovell, Norway, Otisfield, Paris, Stoneham, Sumner, West Paris, and Woodstock. Keep scrolling to learn more about our previous cohorts, or click here for the full list of towns enrolled in the Partnership.

If you live in a Maine town not listed above and would like to learn about helping your town enroll for future grant opportunities, please reach out to us

Past Community Resilience Partnership Cohorts

CEBE has now enrolled and sought funding for three cohorts: Bethel, Otisfield, Paris, and Woodstock in 2022; Casco, Hartford, Lovell, and Sumner in 2023; and Hanover, Stoneham, and West Paris in 2024. We also helped the town of Norway to apply for the first round of funding in early 2022. 

 

We could not do this alone. Over 130 community members have joined us to discuss their ideas for a more resilient community. We appreciate everyone who has supported their town's enrollment in the Community Resilience Partnership!

Hanover is enrolled in the Partnership and received their first Community Action Grant! The town received $50,000 in 2024 for energy efficiency upgrades in the town office.
