Featured Funding Opportunities
Active public subsidies and capital programs available for businesses operating in Alaska:
Mariculture Incentive Grant
Grant (Varies)Provided by: AFDF | Type: Grant
This program is a cornerstone of the state's goal to build a $100 million mariculture industry. Grants typically fund infrastructure (lines, buoys), processing equipment (dryers, freezers), and marketing efforts. It effectively de-risks the high startup costs associated with ocean farming.
Official PortalSmall Business Economic Development (SBED) Loan
Loan (up to $300k)Provided by: DED | Type: Loan
The SBED loan is the "lender of last resort" for viable Alaska businesses. If you have a solid business plan but a bank won't fund you (perhaps due to lack of collateral or credit history), this program steps in. Interest rates are fixed and often below prime.
Official PortalRural Development Initiative Fund (RDIF)
Loan (up to $150k)Provided by: DED | Type: Loan
Designed specifically for "bush" Alaska. Capital is extremely hard to find in rural villages. This fund provides loans for working capital, equipment, and construction to businesses that serve these remote populations.
