About this opportunity
The Denali Commission is soliciting statements of interest for projects that support USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) programs and partners in Alaska. The funding opportunity aims to build capacity for NRCS programs, develop Tribal programs, and support costs for obtaining permissions for easements and land trusts. Eligible applicants include municipal, borough, and tribal governments, Indian Tribes, regional tribal non-profit organizations, regional housing authorities, and other non-profit organizations, with priority given to entities without active or pending Denali Commission awards. A review committee will evaluate statements of interest on a rolling basis, conducting a conformance review and assessing projects according to specified priorities. Successful respondents will be invited by December 1, 2025, to submit full proposals, with approximately 60 days to respond, and the Commission will evaluate these proposals using a comprehensive review process.
The grant opportunity commits up to $10,000,000 from an Inter-Agency Agreement, with projects expected to benefit the public in Alaska. The anticipated award timeline is spring 2026, though final awards may not be executed until fall 2026. The Denali Commission reserves the right to partially fund projects based on the quality of funding assistance requests and other relevant considerations. All projects must align with the Denali Commission Program (CFDA 90.100), which supports critical infrastructure and community development in rural Alaska. The place of performance is exclusively within Alaska, targeting rural and potentially distressed communities with specific infrastructure and conservation needs.
