Tenney seeks funding requests for ‘high-priority community projects’

Press Release, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today announced the launch of the Community Project Funding (CPF) process for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). The deadline for this year’s submissions is Monday, April 29, at close of business.

The CPF process is an important way for members of Congress to advocate for essential projects that benefit our communities. It provides transparency, accountability, and oversight of the funding process rather than simply relying on bureaucrats to make critical funding decisions behind closed doors without congressional input.

The CPF program allows local governments and non-profits to submit requests for federal funding for high-priority community projects in New York’s 24th District. All projects are vetted thoroughly, are subject to strict oversight, and must demonstrate strong local support.

All CPF applications supported by Congresswoman Tenney’s office must meet rigorous eligibility requirements, as outlined in the appropriations guidance, and must provide a clear plan to execute funds promptly with strong accountability measures built in. Tenney’s office works closely with all grantees to ensure awarded funds are spent responsibly and for their intended purpose.

Local elected officials and non-profits interested in submitting applications for projects should visit Tenney’s website (click here). Those with questions should contact Tenney’s Washington, DC office directly at 202-225-3665.
