Community Project Funding Requests

Community Project Funding (CPF) allows Members of Congress to fund projects that make a real difference in the lives of our constituents. 

Republican House Majority leadership have announced that each Representative will be allowed to submit twenty CPF requests for Fiscal Year 2027. 

Due to only being given 16 days notice by the Republican House Majority before Members must begin to submit CPF requests, my office has had to set a very rapid deadline. The deadline for submitting CPF request forms to my office is March 4, 2026.

To see official guidance from the House Appropriations Committee on eligible projects and to access my office's submission forms for consideration please follow the links below. Each subcommittee page has guidance for the specific accounts that House Republicans have designated as eligible for CPFs and a distinct form to collect necessary information for those accounts. 

CPF ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES

To be considered for a CPF by my office, you must meet all three of the following requirements: 

1. You must be:
   • a state/local/tribal government,
   • a public education institution, OR
   • an eligible non-profit allowed under federal law and subcommittee guidance; (Under House Republican guidance, memorials, museums, and commemoratives are ineligible entities; some specific accounts have additional restrictions on nonprofits that can be found in the guidance.)
2. Your project must be located in Minnesota's Fourth Congressional District (Double check the project address here.)
3. You must submit your project with documented evidence of community support (e.g., letters from local officials, resolutions of support, state and local funding committed to the project, etc.)

Additional overall guidance from the House Appropriations Committee for FY 2026 Community Project Funding requests is available here.

CPF REQUEST FORMS 

Each project submitted to my office must be requested under a specific funding account within one of seven Appropriations Subcommittees listed below. To proceed with your request, please click the link of the relevant Subcommittee to review additional guidelines and submission instructions.
