The State of Alaska Division of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA) Grants Section is responsible for administering a variety of state and federal grant programs. Responsibilities include a range of tasks related to disbursement of grant funds to Alaskan communities. Services are provided to municipalities, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, state agencies and other entities.
A new grants database was implemented to meet the needs of Alaska communities while providing information to state agencies, policy makers and the general public. The eGrants database is used to track and manage grants, and can be found at https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/dcra/egrantsonline/
