Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund
MaineDOT administers the Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund (MIAF). The purpose of this funding is for municipal, tribal, and infrastructure districts to adapt their critical infrastructure to reduce vulnerability to climate change.
Funding
MIAF was a recommendation within Maine Won't Wait, the state's four-year climate action plan. In December 2021, Governor Mills announced the creation of MIAF. Since the creation of the fund, MaineDOT has held three rounds of funding, with a fourth opportunity coming in March 2026, through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Resilience Regional Challenge. There are no designated funding sources for MIAF, therefore eligible projects, maximum grant awards, etc., can change depending on the funding source. However, the intent of the program, climate resiliency, has stayed the same.
The grant funding cap depends on the funding source/round but has ranged from $50,000 - $75,000 for scoping and design projects and between $125,000 - $4,000,000 for construction projects. MIAF typically requires a 5% local match share (cash or in-kind) that is raised or appropriated by the entity applying. This program is reimbursement only.
