Tenney sets March 9 deadline for communities to apply for funding

Press Release, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney

WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today announced the launch of the Community Project Funding (CPF) process for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27). The deadline for this year’s submissions is March 9th at close of business.

The CPF process is an important way for members of Congress to advocate for projects that directly benefit our communities across New York’s 24th District. It ensures transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight in the funding process rather than leaving critical decisions solely to Washington without local input.

The CPF program allows eligible local governments and non-profit organizations to submit requests for federal funding for high-priority community projects. All proposals are thoroughly vetted, must demonstrate strong local support, and are subject to strict oversight requirements.

All CPF applications supported by Congresswoman Tenney’s office must meet rigorous eligibility standards outlined in the appropriations guidance and include a clear, detailed plan to execute funds responsibly and efficiently. Tenney’s office works closely with applicants to ensure that any awarded funds are used appropriately and deliver meaningful results for the district.

Local elected officials and non-profit organizations interested in submitting applications or seeking additional information should email: AppropriationsRequestsNY24@mail.house.gov.
