Rural alaskan village WWD grants-domestic water only

The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium received a $482,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760), awarded September 26, 2025, with completion expected by September 26, 2027. This grant funds domestic water infrastructure development specifically designated for rural Alaskan villages. The award supports the delivery of water supply systems and related infrastructure improvements to address critical public health and sanitary needs in underserved Alaska Native communities, consistent with RUS's mission to direct financial assistance toward rural areas with demonstrated population, income, unemployment, and health disparities.

As a tribally-owned, non-profit health organization serving Alaska's 229 federally recognized tribes, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium leverages substantial experience in managing rural infrastructure grants—having previously received over $12 million in RUS funding for water and waste disposal projects across rural Alaskan villages. The organization's infrastructure development expertise positions it to effectively implement domestic water system improvements that will provide reasonable user costs for rural residents and tribal communities in Alaska.
