Statements of interest will be evaluated on a rolling basis through February 28, 2025, with successful respondents invited to submit full proposals by January 15, 2025. Proposals will be evaluated by the Transportation Advisory Committee, Commission staff, and subject matter experts, with final awards anticipated in late spring 2025.

Additional FOA information -

The Denali Commission is inviting statements of interest for rural Alaska transportation projects in need of local match or gap funding assistance. Many Alaskan communities lack the tax base or resources necessary to meet cost share requirements. This opportunity seeks to provide funding to cover local match needs or address funding gaps, facilitating the completion of surface transportation projects and supporting infrastructure development in rural communities.


Overview

The Commission announces the availability of funds for match and gap funding assistance for surface transportation projects that identify specific shovel-ready transportation improvement projects.

Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, and tribal governments; Indian Tribes as defined by Title 25 US Code § 5304; regional tribal non-profit organizations; and other non-profit organizations.
