FY 2027 Appropriations Submissions
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution entrusts Congress with the authority to make appropriations through law. It is the legislative branch’s duty to determine how discretionary federal funds are allocated to local government entities, nonprofit organizations, or geographic locations.

For Community Project Funding Requests:
CPFs will be issued on a limited basis in the FY27 Appropriations bills. Therefore, only CPF requests that address the most critical and outstanding needs of local communities or provide a significant public good will be considered. Submission of a request does not guarantee a project will be funded.
Each eligible Subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations has specific guidance for community project eligibility, along with the process for making a request. Please closely review the guidelines per each subcommittee to ensure your project meets the requirements prior to submitting your application. Should a project fail to meet these requirements, the request cannot be considered. Additionally, funds for these projects must be used during the FY27 cycle. Any request that includes funding beyond FY27 cannot be considered.
The House Committee on Appropriations has issued the following guidance for CPFs within the following subcommittees:
- Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
- Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
- Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies
- Homeland Security
