FY27 Community Project Funding Requests
Each year, the Community Project Funding process allows members of Congress to submit up to 20 projects from their district to the House Appropriations Committee for possible inclusion in the federal government budget.
The Community Project Funding process is highly competitive. Project funding may not be directed to for-profit recipients. Members may request funding for state, local, or tribal governmental grantees and certain eligible non-profits within the LHHS subcommittee, as allowed under federal law and subcommittee guidance.
Each year only certain federal accounts are open for submissions. Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements outlined by the specific account for which they are applying, including any matching fund requirements. Projects are generally intended for capital expenses.
Once our office’s submission deadline closes, we will take time to review each project to determine which projects will be selected to move forward in the process. If you are selected, you must prepare a full packet of community support which may include: letters, articles, local resolutions, or other materials that demonstrate support for your project. We will also follow up to request additional information that will be needed to officially submit the project for consideration to the House Appropriations Committee.
Please note that there is no guarantee that Community Project Funding requests submitted to our office will be selected for consideration by the House Appropriations Committee, nor does consideration by the House Appropriations Committee guarantee they will be funded. The disbursal of Community Project Funding to approved projects is dependent upon the final Appropriation bills being signed into law. After that has happened, each federal agency has its own timeline for disbursing funds, which can take several months. It is safe to assume that it could take between 12-18 months between the time a project is submitted to our office, until funding is disbursed from the federal agencies – however, that is a rough timeline.
Congresswoman Grijalva has submitted 20 funding requests for community projects in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District to the House Appropriations Committee for FY 27. Projects are restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible non-profit entities are permitted to receive funding.
THE SUBMISSION PERIOD HAS CLOSED FOR FY27.
