The Denali Commission is a federal agency in the US based in Anchorage, Alaska that provides critical utilities, infrastructure, and economic support throughout Alaska.[1]

It was established in 1998.[2] Since 2015, it has been assisting Alaskan communities whose existence is threatened by rising sea levels caused by climate change.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

As of 2019, it has a budget of over $46 million.[9]
