The House Appropriations Committee announced that they will be accepting Community Project Funding (CPF) requests from Members for Fiscal Year 2027. Each Member is limited to no more than 20 community project funding requests across all subcommittees and there is no guarantee that all requested projects will be funded.

Submissions for Community Project Funding requests were due by Friday, March 6, 2026.

Please note:

• Congressman Beyer could NOT accept CPF requests for projects outside of VA-08.
• 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 Congressman Beyer does NOT guarantee the project will be selected.
• The selection of a project does NOT guarantee it will be funded by the Appropriations Committee.

Eligible Entities & Projects

Members may request funding for state, local, or tribal governmental grantees and certain eligible non-profits, as allowed under federal law and subcommittee guidance. Funding cannot be directed to for-profit entities and requests must fulfill State or local match requirements. While matching funds do not have to be in-hand prior to the request, requesting entities must have a plan to meet such requirements for the project to be viable. Additionally, each submission must be for FY2027 only and cannot include multi-year funding requests.

The Committee will only consider projects with demonstrated community support in the form of: letters from local elected officials; press articles highlighting need; support from newspaper editorial boards; mentions on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other publicly available planning documents; resolutions passed by city councils or boards; etc.

Projects will only be considered for funding if they have a federal nexus. Examples of a federal nexus are provided by the committee guidance.
