Grant Information

MMUA quick reference guide
Municipal utilities have access to a wide range of grant funding opportunities that can support infrastructure improvements, resilience projects, energy initiatives, workforce development, cybersecurity, and community investments. While grant programs often require planning and administration, successful applications can reduce project costs and minimize impacts on utility rates. MMUA helps members identify opportunities, evaluate program requirements, and strengthen funding applications.


Funding opportunities

At any given time, there are dozens of grant available that may meet the needs of municipal utility members and their cities. When MMUA is aware of projects members are planning, we will attempt to notify them of funding opportunities that may be considered. MMUA publishes current funding announcements of interest to members each week in the Digest.


Grant development support

Grant funding can help municipal utilities advance critical infrastructure, resilience, technology, workforce, and community projects. MMUA helps members identify funding opportunities, evaluate grant requirements, and strengthen project planning efforts.

MMUA can assist with:

  • Funding opportunity identification
  • Project eligibility review
  • Grant strategy discussions
  • Application review and feedback

Whether you're exploring a future project or preparing an application, MMUA can help you determine whether a funding opportunity is the right fit for your utility
