Statement of Interest: Rural Transportation Match and Gap Funding Assistance Program
January 16, 2026
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 transportation projects and supporting infrastructure development in rural communities across the state.
Please read the entire posted notice for information regarding eligible applicants and projects, as well as the review and evaluation process.
Direct questions to Christian Diamond, Grants Management Specialist, cdiamond@denali.gov or Nikki Navio, Transportation Program Manager, nnavio@denali.gov.
Send a copy of your Statement of Interest Form to the Commission via email at projects@denali.gov.
