FY26 Appropriations

Every Fiscal Year (FY), Congress appropriates funding for most of the functions of the federal government. There are 12 separate appropriations bills, each written by a subcommittee with jurisdiction over specific agencies. During the appropriations process, lawmakers can submit requests to the respective subcommittees expressing support for authorized programs, bill/report language, and specific funding levels.

Submission Deadline: 11:59 SUNDAY APRIL 20TH.  Click here for AZ-04’s FY25 Programmatic Appropriations Request Form.

Notes:

• Please submit a SEPARATE form for each funding request.
• Requests using this form must be for general support or language, NOT for a specific project.
• This form is NOT FOR CPF Requests.
• Direction any questions to: Appropriations.AZ04@mail.house.gov

Community Project Funding Requests (CPF) Requests

The House Committee on Appropriations has announced that it will continue to solicit Community Project Funding (CPF) requests – commonly referred to as earmarks – from Members in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests.  Each Member is limited to 15 Community Project Funding Requests across all subcommittees for FY26 and there is no guarantee that all projects will be funded.  The FY26 CPF process has a limited scope with combined earmarks capped at 0.5 percent of all discretionary spending. 

Submission Deadline: 11:59PM AZ time on Sunday, April 20th. See below for AZ-04’s FY26 CPF Appropriations Request Forms and return to Appropriations.AZ04@mail.house.gov

Please note:

• 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 Stanton 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.
• One notable change is that non-profits are no longer eligible for Community Project Funding in the Economic Development Initiative (EDI) account.

More information on the process can be found on the House Appropriations Committee website.

Eligible Entities & Projects

Please note that only state and local government entities, certain public institutions, and some non-profit entities for some accounts are eligible to submit and receive funding through CPF.  Funding cannot be directed to for-profit entities, memorials, museums, or commemoratives (i.e., projects named for an individual or entity), and will not include waivers for 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 FY24 only and cannot include multiyear 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.
