OSWEGO – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) announced the launch of the Community Project Funding process for Fiscal Year 2026. The deadline for this year’s submissions is Thursday, April 24, at close of business.

The CPF process is an important way for members of Congress to advocate for projects that will directly benefit their district. It provides transparency, accountability, and oversight of the funding process rather than simply relying on bureaucrats in Washington to make critical funding decisions behind closed doors without community 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 or have questions should email: AppropriationsRequestsNY24@mail.house.gov.
