Municipal Reserve Budgeting Webinar 09-15-2026

Hosted by Maine Resilience Finance Coordinators, NEEFC and Gulf of Maine Research Institute. Municipalities have long used reserve funds to save for capital needs — this webinar shows how to put that same practice to work for climate and natural hazard resilience. Learn how proactive saving can help your community respond to emergencies, fund resilience projects, and move quickly when grant opportunities require local match. We'll also cover sinking funds — reserves for planned but variable expenses (like snow removal) — and how they can be invested to keep pace with or beat inflation.
