Community Project Funding
Community Project Funding (CPF) is an initiative for Fiscal Year 2023 that will allow Members of Congress to request direct funding for projects that benefit the communities they represent. CPF is separate from federal grants and funding apportioned by formula. CPF's are also not normal appropriations requests, which deal with funding levels for individual federal programs. Please see our normal appropriations request form if you are looking to submit a normal appropriations request.
