Alaska is a young state, and Alaskans are always looking for innovative ways to move forward on funding opportunities for important projects and programs. With the focus on reducing the federal deficit and cutting spending, the need to get creative with financing becomes even greater. However, federal grants are still an option for finding critical funding, and Senator Begich’s office is ready to help you navigate the process.

Federal grants come from federal agencies, and they target specific needs. Applying for and administering federal dollars involves a lot of work. The information on this page will help you start looking for funding to help you accomplish your goal - whether it’s incorporating a new source of energy in your community, driving innovation in your local school or giving a hand to those in need. If you have more questions about federal grants, please contact Clare Boersma, grant coordinator, in Senator Begich’s Anchorage office at (907) 271-5915 or by email at grants@begich.senate.gov.
