Each year, the United States Congress considers and enacts annual appropriations bills that provide the federal government with the funding it needs to operate. These appropriations bills fund a wide range of federal government operations, including medical research, clean air and water programs, and national defense. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee since 2013, I’m proud to fight for federal assistance to support communities across Maine.
Community Project Funding (CPF) is a critical tool to directly enrich our communities and a vital instrument that has facilitated member-to-member cooperation between the parties for decades. By giving all members an equal stake in the success of legislation for our constituents, the reintroduction of Community Project Funding will make Congress work better and heal the widening partisan divisions that threaten our democratic process.
The deadline for submitting FY25 CPF requests to Congresswoman Pingree’s office is 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
We understand this is a very quick turnaround and apologize for that inconvenience; unfortunately, House Republicans decided to allow just a handful of days for the application process this year. We appreciate your patience as we work through this together.
Each submission must meet statutory requirements for the federal program through which it is funded, along with additional House Appropriations Committee requirements outlined below. Please note that, under the current House Republican leadership, many of these requirements have significantly changed from prior years and are different from the Senate.
Please review the following materials prior to your submission:
