FY27: Appropriations and Community Project Funding
FY27 Community Project Funding Requests
The U.S. House Committee on Appropriations solicited Community Project Funding (CPF) requests from Members in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests. Each Member is limited to no more than 20 Community Project Funding requests across all subcommittees for the Fiscal Year, and there is no guarantee that projects will be funded. The FY27 CPF process is limited scope with combined total of all house and senate projects capped at 1% of all discretionary spending and eligible accounts.
Please note:
- A request submitted through the website does NOT guarantee the project will be selected.
- The selection of a project does NOT guarantee it will be funded by the Appropriations Committee.
Eligibility:
Only state and local government entities, public institutions, and non-profit entities are eligible to submit and receive funding through CPF. Funding cannot be directed to for-profit entities and will not include waivers for State or local match requirements. While matching funds do not have to be in-hand prior to the request, requesting entities must have a plan to meet such requirements for the project to be viable. Additionally, each submission must be for FY27 only and cannot include multiyear funding requests. The Committee will only consider projects with demonstrated community support in the form of: letters from local elected officials; press articles highlighting need; support from newspaper editorial boards; mentions on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other publicly available planning documents; resolutions passed by city councils or boards; etc.
