Community Project Funding Requests - Fiscal Year 2025

The House Committee on Appropriations solicited Community Project Funding (CPF) requests – commonly referred to as earmarks – from Members in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests. Each Member is limited to 15 Community Project Funding Requests across all subcommittees for FY25 and there is no guarantee that all projects will be funded. The FY25 CPF process has a limited scope with combined earmarks capped at 0.5% of all discretionary spending.

Eligibility Information

Only state and local government entities, certain public institutions, and non-profit entities are eligible to submit and receive funding through CPF. Funding cannot be directed to for-profit entities, memorials, museums, or commemoratives (i.e., projects named for an individual or entity), 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 FY25 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.
