20250117 REVISED Soliciting Statements of Interest NonFedMatch.zip

This is a Statement of Interest (SOI) solicitation from the Denali Commission offering up to $7 million in non-federal matching funds for rural Alaska infrastructure projects, with individual awards capped at $1 million per community. The funding aims to help communities meet local match requirements for other federal infrastructure grants in areas including energy, healthcare, community wellness, climate resilience, broadband, housing, and sanitation, though transportation projects are explicitly excluded.

Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, and tribal governments, regional tribal non-profits, regional housing authorities, and other non-profit organizations in Alaska, with priority given to entities without active Denali Commission awards. Projects must either have secured federal funding requiring a match or be actively pursuing such funding. Administrative expenses are capped at 5% for equipment purchases/repairs and 10% for all other projects. The SOI deadline is February 28, 2025, with rolling reviews beginning January 15, 2025. Selected applicants will have 45 days to submit full proposals, with awards expected in spring-fall 2025. Applications should be submitted via email to projects@denali.gov rather than through Grants.gov.
