Rural alaskan village WWD grants-domestic water only

The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) received a $938,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760), awarded on September 26, 2025, with a completion date of September 26, 2027. This grant supports domestic water infrastructure development for rural Alaskan villages, consistent with RUS's mission to provide loan and grant funds for water and waste projects serving financially disadvantaged communities and ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents.

As a non-profit tribal health organization serving all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Service area, ANTHC leverages its established expertise and federal grant management capacity to deliver this water infrastructure project. The award aligns with ANTHC's extensive portfolio of RUS grants totaling over $12 million for water and waste disposal systems across rural Alaska villages. The funding will support critical water supply infrastructure improvements that address health and sanitary needs in remote Alaskan communities with limited financial resources.
