Espaillat: Apply for Congressional Funding for Local Community Projects Today.
Up To 15 Public, Non-Profit Projects Can Be Submitted to House Appropriations Committee.
Deadline to Apply is March 17th!
NEW YORK, NY – Last week, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, which funds federal agencies and programs—announced the start of a new cycle of community project funding for state and local entities to receive direct federal funding through the Appropriations process.
Community Project Funding allows Members of Congress to direct congressional funding to their districts to help address the needs of the community. This funding is critical to helping support the administrative and operational functions of eligible groups in the district.
Eligible entities that can apply for funding include state or local governmental entities and certain eligible non-profit organizations. All for-profit groups and entities are ineligible. Eligible projects are broken down by each spending bill.
“We are incredibly excited to announce that New York state and local governments, and non-profit organizations, are now able to request Community Project Funding in upcoming annual federal spending bills,” said Reps. Espaillat, Meng, and Morelle. “This process ensures that Members of Congress can work with their communities to identify projects which need funding and has successfully allowed us to target funding to projects in our congressional districts that need this support the most to continue their work. Members of Congress know our districts best, and we look forward to collaborating closely with community groups to identify the projects and what steps may be involved to ensure this process and funding opportunity is available to all.” |
