Which federal programs actually fund Alaska
Competitively awarded federal grant dollars that went to Alaska recipients in FY2025 —
project grants and cooperative agreements only. Formula and block funding (Medicaid, highways) is excluded because
it is allocated to state government, not won by applicants.

This report compiles and structures publicly available grant information from official federal and state sources. It is not legal, financial, or grant-writing advice, is not an endorsement by any grantor, and does not replace reading the official grant solicitation or consulting a grants professional. Eligibility, funding amounts, and deadlines are current as of the source’s publication date — always confirm against the official notice of funding opportunity before you apply. Many federal grants are not available to for-profit businesses or individuals; where that applies, the report says so.
