Northern Management has worked in all corners of the State and various locations in the lower 48 and Hawaii. We are dedicated to developing innovative solutions to municipal and tribal management challenges. With patience, drive, and determination, we have worked with communities to overcome the odds and implement their goals and objectives. 

We are familiar with the complete development process starting from the ground up. Whether its capacity building, planning, project design, fundraising, or project implementation we have become trusted development partners with communities across the State.

Tuluksak Receives $100,000 In Rasmuson Funds

Tuluksak Native Community received $100,000 in additional funding from the Rasmuson Foundation, providing the last crucial share of funding to allow construction of the Tuluksak Teen Center and Post Office Building. Previous requests for funds were denied, but due to the stabilization of the Tribe’s finances and additional planning, and a follow-up site visit by Rasmuson head staff, Helen Howarth, the 2004 fund request was fully funded. Construction will begin in 2005.

Coastal Villages Region Fund receives FY2004's largest Mini-Grant Award

Coastal Villages Region Fund receives FY2004's largest Mini-Grant award, totaling $90,000 for community mapping for the villages of Eek, Goodnews Bay, Quinhagak, Kongiganak, Mekoryuk, Nightmute, Tuntutuliak, and Tunanak.

This project is a joint effort between the eight participating communities and the Department of Community and Economic Development to complete community profile maps that that will display an array of land information. The completed maps will enable the participating villages to develop basic plans that will address community development needs such as :

• Land planning to identify areas for residential, community, industrial, commercial, and protected areas;
• Capital Plans
• Comprehensive Community Development Plan 

Northern Management worked hand-in-hand with CVRF Business Specialist Neil Rodriguez to spearhead the funding application and rally support among the Lower Kuskokwim Region villages for the mapping project. By bringing communities together, and leveraging resources, this Mini-Grant request scored high and was fully funded!
