What You Need to Know

  • Application Platform: Requests must be submitted through the official Google Form.
  • Google Account Required: Applicants must log in with a Google account to complete the form.

Community Project Funding enables Members of Congress to advocate for specific projects that directly benefit their districts. Eligible projects often include:

  • Infrastructure improvements
  • Public safety enhancements
  • Water and sewer upgrades
  • Community facilities
  • Economic development initiatives


Local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations are encouraged to coordinate internally and with community partners to assemble required documentation well in advance of the deadline.



Early preparation is critical, particularly given the evolving federal appropriations guidance.
