IRA, BIL/IIJA Federal Funding
In 2021 and 2022, the U.S. Federal Government passed historic pieces of legislation that will have large impacts on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for years to come. MAPC is working hard with State and Municipal leaders to ensure access to funding to pursue our ambitious climate, infrastructure, transportation, and economic development goals.
Many of the programs outlined in the IRA and BIL/IIJA have not yet been fully rolled out. As more information becomes available, we will update this webpage to ensure your municipality has access to the most current information and resources available. We encourage you to check back often!
Tracking Progress
IIJA & IRA Funding Tracker
The University of Michigan’s Graham Sustainability Institute created a list of upcoming grants and additional information that can be found here. It highlights open grants, expected opening dates, and eligible recipients.
Investing in America
An online interactive tool put out by the Biden Administration that shows the affect of the federal funding programs above across the nation and in each state/territory.
Arts & Culture
Additional federal grant opportunities for cities and towns in the Greater Boston region include those provided by The National Endowment of Humanities (NEH) and The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). These agencies support projects related to equitable historic preservation, place-based storytelling, public artmaking, creative placemaking, community-wide cultural planning, and more. See further below for specific opportunities and contact us TAProgram@mapc.org to discuss if the MAPC Arts & Culture department can help your municipality develop a project concept.
