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, Community Vulnerability Assessments, and Community Action Grants of up to $75,000.

 

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.​ Thanks to a new grant opportunity, we are also able to assist two to five enrolled/enrolling communities at a time to complete community vulnerability assessments that identify vulnerable community members, infrastructure, and assets, and then utilize that data to further prioritize climate action projects and apply for grant funds. 

We are currently working with the towns of Stow, Sweden, and Brownfield on their Community Action Grants, 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 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, Woodstock, Harrison, Temple, Naples, and Canton.

Past Community Resilience Partnership Cohorts

CEBE has now enrolled and sought funding for four cohorts: Bethel, Otisfield, Paris, and Woodstock in 2022; Casco, Hartford, Lovell, and Sumner in 2023; Hanover, Stoneham, and West Paris in spring 2024; and Canton, Harrison, Naples, and Temple in fall 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!
