Appropriations Requests

Our office is accepting appropriations requests through Friday, April 16, 2021. Please carefully read the information below. 

As in years past, our office is accepting requests for programmatic and language requests.  In addition, we are accepting requests for Community Project Funding (CPF).  This is an updated and more transparent version of a former practice known as earmarks, which was ended in 2010.  These CPF requests will be for the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) appropriations process, consistent with the House Appropriations Committee’s recent announcement. State and local governments and certain 501(c)3 non-profit organizations may be eligible for this federal funding. Additional eligibility and application requirements are outlined in the community project funding request page on the House Appropriations Committee page available here. 

The House Appropriations Committee has outlined these minimum requirements for Community Project Funding to prioritize transparency, accountability, and strong community support when considering these requests:

  • Members may submit no more than 10 requests and must make their requests publicly available on their website.
  • Only projects with demonstrated community support will be considered.
  • Funding is for Fiscal Year 2022 only; requests for multi-year funding will not be considered.
  • Eligible recipients are state and local governments and non-profit organizations as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. For-profit entities are not eligible.
  • Federal programs may require a state or local match for projects. The match will not be waived.
  • Requests are limited to the eligible accounts specified in the FY22 Community Project Funding Page on the Appropriations Page. Such requests must meet all of the additional requirements specified for each account.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Submitting a request using this form is only the first step in a highly competitive process. Submission does not guarantee funding or inclusion in legislation.
  • This form does not send a completed copy to your e-mail.
  • Requesters are limited to one request in each category (program, language or Community Project). 
  • If you have requests for more than one area (program and/or language or Community Project) you must complete the form again for each request.
