Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Program Grant Webinar - Lincoln County, Maine

Alex Zipparo from the Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission (LCRPC) and Sarah Demers from the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development hosted a Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) Catalyst Program Grant webinar on Thursday, January 29, 2026. The Catalyst Program is the primary competitive grant through NBRC, featuring grant opportunities in the spring and fall. Pre-applications for the 2026 spring round are due on February 27, 2026. Successful pre-applications will be invited to submit a full application, which is due on April 17, 2026. Eligible applicants (local governments, secondary and career technical centers, nonprofits, federally recognized and Indian Tribes) and their partners are encouraged to attend. For-profit entities, LLCs and other entities that are not a 501(c) are NOT eligible to apply for Catalyst Program funding. NBRC is a Federal-State partnership for economic and community development that certain counties in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York are eligible to participate in. This partnership was created to address economic transitions through strategic investments. Lincoln County entities became eligible to apply for NBRC funding in 2025, following the congressional reauthorization of the program. In the first year of eligibility, the towns of Boothbay Harbor and Waldoboro received grants for municipal water improvement projects.
