Apply for Grants

Transition from WebGrants to Fluxx

The Met Council is transitioning to Fluxx, a new, modern, and user-friendly grant management system. Livable Communities applications are only accepted through Fluxx. If you previously had a WebGrants account, navigate to Fluxx and click "Forgot Password." Enter the email associated with your WebGrants account, and you will receive an email to reset your password and log in. Once you are logged in and have started an application, you'll be able to add collaborators to that application. Learn more about using the Fluxx system.

How to Apply

  1. Confirm your eligibility.
    Livable Communities grants can only be made for projects in Livable Communities participating cities. Share your project idea with us so we can advise on whether it aligns with our funding priorities and includes eligible activities such as:

MINNEAPOLIS AND SAINT PAUL-BASED APPLICANTS: Minneapolis and Saint Paul have a pre-application process to decide which applications they will sponsor and submit. Minneapolis has two separate pre-application processes. Learn more about the Minneapolis pre-application process for environmental site investigation and cleanup projects and construction projects. Learn more about the Saint Paul pre-application process.

 
  1. Build your team.
    Only participating cities, counties, or development authorities can apply for grants, most projects share the work across an internal team and a development partner or consultants.
  2. Create your application.Learn more about using Fluxx and start your application.
  3. Submit your application.  All applications are submitted in Fluxx. There are two opportunities to apply each year, April 15, with awards announced in the summer, and October 15, with awards announced in the winter.
  4. Awards. 
    If your project is awarded a grant, the sponsoring city, county, or development authority will enter into an agreement with the Met Council. All grants are reimbursement-based.
