Rural alaskan village WWD grants-domestic water only

This $129,000 Project Grant was awarded on September 26, 2025, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The award to Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) supports domestic water infrastructure development for rural Alaskan villages, consistent with the RUS program's mandate to provide loan and grant funds for water and waste projects serving financially disadvantaged rural communities. The grant addresses critical water supply needs in Alaska Native communities, with a project completion date of September 26, 2027.

As a leading tribal health organization serving approximately 189,000 Alaska Native people and all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Health Service area, ANTHC brings substantial experience in managing federal infrastructure awards. The organization has previously received over $12 million in RUS grants for water and waste disposal systems across rural Alaskan villages. This award represents continued federal investment in essential water infrastructure that will improve health outcomes and quality of life in underserved rural Alaska communities by ensuring access to safe domestic water systems.
