About Community Project Funding
In 2021, the House of Representatives adopted a submissions process for Community Project Funding requests, which allows individual Members to submit requests on behalf of their district. Members know the unique needs and priorities of their districts, and take submissions from across their community.
Community project funding allows local governments and certain non-profits to receive a one-time, small to medium-sized allocation to complete projects of local importance. Important note: For-profit institutions, such as private companies, are not eligible for funding. The deadline to submit CPF requests for FY25 has passed.
