Rural alaskan village WWD grants-domestic water only

The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) received a $796,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture 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 needy communities while ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents and businesses.

ANTHC, a nonprofit tribal health organization serving approximately 189,000 Alaska Native people across all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Health Service area, will utilize these funds to advance water supply infrastructure in rural Alaskan communities. The award aligns with ANTHC's extensive track record in managing over $12 million in prior RUS grants for water and waste disposal systems across rural villages, demonstrating organizational capacity to implement and administer critical water infrastructure projects in remote communities.
