House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole announced that the House Committee on Appropriations will be accepting Community Project Funding (CPF) requests from Members. This is in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests. Each Member is limited to no more than 20 Community Project Funding requests across all subcommittees for Fiscal Year 2027 and there is no guarantee that all requested projects will be funded. The FY2027 CPF process has a limited scope with eligible accounts restricted to those listed in the table below.
Please note:
- Congresswoman Plaskett will NOT accept CPF requests for projects outside of VI-00.
- All projects must meet the relevant statutory and administrative criteria for funding through the grant program under which it is submitted.
- A request submitted to Congresswoman Plaskett does NOT guarantee the project will be selected.
- The selection of a project does NOT guarantee it will be funded by the Appropriations Committee.
- The Committee will NOT provide cost-share waivers and grantees are legally responsible for meeting the non-federal cost share requirements and all other applicable grant criteria.
More information on the process can be found on the House Appropriations Committee’s page. Staff may follow up for additional information to support the CPF request such as budget justification, documentation of community support and need, or proof of ability to meet match requirements once an initial request is submitted. If you have any questions about Congresswoman Plaskett’s project submission process, please reach out to Paige.Clarke@mail.house.gov.
