Rural alaskan village WWD grants-domestic water only

The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) received a $828,000 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 award specifically 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 while ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents.

As a non-profit tribal health organization serving all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Health Service area, ANTHC leverages its extensive experience administering federal water infrastructure grants to deliver critical water system improvements in rural Alaska Native communities. The grant funding supports the development and implementation of domestic water supply infrastructure projects that address health and sanitary needs in remote villages with limited access to safe water systems. ANTHC's demonstrated capacity to manage complex federal infrastructure initiatives, combined with its established partnerships across Alaska Native communities, positions the organization to effectively deploy these funds toward sustainable water service solutions.
