Services for Tribal Governments

Comprehensive Assistance for Alaska Native Villages

Comprehensive Services for Tribal Governments

We have over 20 years of experience working with Alaska Native Villages. New Path Tribal Services can help build the capacity of your tribal government by providing technical assistance on programs, projects, grants, funding, planning, tribal management, self-governance and 638 programs. We know Tribal Administrators have an overwhelming job and we can help. Many tasks identified by the Council can be done by New Path Tribal Services. Our Annual Contract for Services is a 12-month flat-rate contract for project development, grant writing and general technical assistance. 

New Path provides complete grant writing assistance from project development to submission of the grant. We also provide comprehensive tribal services – help with grant management, programmatic reporting, tribal administration, planning, and more. 

We work with tribes on a flat annual rate for grant writing and project development and general technical assistance. If you would like more information or would like to set up a time to talk, please let us know. We are happy to answer any questions and we can provide many, many references. 

We have a package to help with programmatic reporting for JustGrants & Grant Solutions to help reduce the workload for tribal governments. Get help setting up and managing your grant reporting platforms and completing your programmatic reports. 

We can help organize and restructure your System for Award Management (SAM) and how that populates through all the federal grant platforms including grants.gov, JustGrants, Grants Solutions, and Treasury. Ask for a quote! 

We can do Environmental Assessment Reviews for construction projects. 

Ask about special projects – need just one grant written, or one project developed, or a task completed? 

Keep jobs in your community by outsourcing only the parts that you can’t do.  Many funded grants require a Project Manager, Coordinator, or Specialist to take the lead. If you have the perfect person for that job but there are a few tasks they don’t want to take on or don’t feel confident completing, we can help you contract out only the tasks you cannot do locally. If we cannot do it, we will try to help you find people who can.

Services include:

  • Project Development & Grants 
  • Technical Assistance to Tribal Governments
  • Planning
  • Specialized Technical Assistance – help when you need something more (not covered under the flat rate contract)
  • Environmental Assessment Reviews
  • Programmatic reporting and assistance with grant platforms such as JustGrants and Grants Solutions
  • Updating your SAM, Entity Administrators, and Organizational Representatives across platforms

Annual Contract for Services

Our Annual Contract for Services is a 12-month flat-rate contract. We work with a limited number of villages each year on an annual contract because projects can take longer than expected, grant openings cycle throughout the year, and twelve months is a good amount of time to get things done in addition to grants. We do not charge an hourly rate because we want to be able to take enough time to complete projects without worrying about the cost to tribes. 

Project Development & Grants

A successful project meets the unique needs of the tribe and the criteria required for each grant. New Path Tribal Services is highly effective at getting this done. Our success rate is 99% for 2020. We provide comprehensive technical assistance on every aspect of grant writing. We work with your Council to determine priorities. and help develop programs and projects to meet the unique needs of your tribe. We help find funding. Our specialty is working with villages to create fundable projects and programs. Guidance, assistance, and technical support is provided at every step— research, resolutions, letters of support, Memorandums, partnerships, budgets, matching funds, collection of baseline data, timelines, resumes, job descriptions, formatting and more.

We have an experienced grant writer who has written over $80 million in funded grants for Alaska Tribes. 

Other Contract Options / Specialized Technical Assistance: help when you need it.

New Path Tribal Services has considerable experience working with more than 60 Alaska Native Villages. We know that there are some tasks that cannot be completed locally but the objective is to keep as much of the funding in the community as possible. We are constantly searching for qualified, trustworthy people to take on certain tasks to help villages complete funded projects.

We can supervise the technical assistance or we can provide a link and a referral to a trustworthy qualified person.

Specialized technical assistance is not covered under the NPTS Annual Contract; it is usually a grant-funded task with funds appropriated in the budget for specialized technical assistance.
