What the grant funds

The Denali Commission is inviting statements of interest for rural Alaska infrastructure projects in need of local match or non-federal cost share for other federal funding. Many Alaska communities lack the tax base or resources necessary to meet cost share requirements. This opportunity aims to provide financial support to meet local match requirements, enabling infrastructure projects in rural areas that often face challenges in securing funding for critical needs such as energy, healthcare, community wellness, climate resilience, broadband, housing, and sanitation. Please note that transportation projects are not eligible for this opportunity. Overview The Commission announces the availability of funds for Non-Federal Match for Federal Infrastructure Projects that make small scale community improvements. This announcement commits up to $7,000,000 for the purpose of this opportunity from funds received from a Legislative Grant from the State of Alaska, appropriated pursuant to the provisions of AS 37.05.316, Grants to Named Recipients, SSLA 2024, SB 187, Chapter 8, Section 4, Page 42, and Line 19, “funding to the Denali Commission for Non-Federal Match for Federal Infrastructure Projects.” Applicants may request up to $1,000,000 per community for each application submitted through this funding opportunity. The Commission will consider requests for public infrastructure projects that meet the following criteria: •The project has already secured federal funding that requires a local match. •The project is currently applying for or plans to apply for funding that requires a local match. Eligible Project Activities Respondents are encouraged to identify specific, shovel-ready infrastructure improvement projects and specify the funding needed for their completion. For projects involving equipment purchases or repairs, no more than 5% of these funds may be used for administrative expenses. For all other projects, administrative expenses are capped at 10% of the total grant award. Applicant Eligibility Eligible projects must benefit the public in Alaska. Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, and tribal governments; Indian Tribes as defined by Title 25 US Code § 5304; regional tribal non-profit organizations; regional housing authorities; and other non-profit organizations. Entities which do not have an active or pending award with the Denali Commission will be prioritized under this funding opportunity.
