Reduction of air and noise pollution — Stream 2

Communities and organizations across Quebec are under increasing pressure to address the real-world impacts of air and noise pollution, particularly where these issues affect public health and quality of life. For businesses, nonprofits, and project leaders working on environmental solutions, the Reduction of Air and Noise Pollution – Stream 2 program offers meaningful financial support to turn mitigation ideas into concrete action. Delivered by the Fonds d’Action Québécois pour le Développement Durable, this initiative focuses on projects that go beyond compliance and aim to create measurable improvements in air quality or sound environments.

Stream 2 is especially relevant for clean technology companies, environmental organizations, and larger enterprises developing solutions that reduce pollution at the source or lessen its effects on surrounding populations. Projects that involve collaboration with local partners or encourage citizen participation are a strong fit, reflecting the program’s emphasis on shared responsibility and community engagement. Funding is non-repayable and can cover a significant portion of eligible project costs, with total support reaching up to roughly $500,000 depending on the nature and scale of the initiative.

With applications currently being accepted on an ongoing basis, this program can be a strong opportunity for Quebec-based organizations planning environmental projects with tangible social benefits. Reviewing the full details can help determine whether your project aligns with the program’s objectives and funding approach.
