Funding Opportunity Available for Rural Communities

The Denali Commission has issued a funding opportunity for rural infrastructure projects. Eligible projects must benefit Alaska residents. Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, state, and tribal governments; Indian Tribes as defined by Title 25 US Code § 5304; regional housing authorities; universities; regional tribal non-profit organizations; and non-profit organizations. For-profit Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act entities may apply; however, grant income is considered income and, therefore, taxable.  

Apply here by April 14.
