FY25 SOI - Statements of Interest -NFM- Other.zip

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

Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, and tribal governments, regional tribal non-profits, regional housing authorities, and other non-profit organizations in Alaska. Projects must either have secured federal funding requiring match or be actively pursuing such funding. Administrative expenses are limited to 5% for equipment purchases/repairs and 10% for all other projects. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until February 28, 2025, with initial invitations for full proposals expected around January 15, 2025. Selected applicants will have 45 days to submit detailed proposals, with awards anticipated in spring 2025 but possibly extending to fall 2025. Submissions should be emailed to projects@denali.gov rather than submitted through Grants.gov.
