Kean Announces FY2027 Community Project Funding Request Form

(March 2, 2026) WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) announced the launch of his FY2027 Community Project Funding Appropriations request form for New Jersey's 7th Congressional District. This year, the House Appropriations Committee will allow each member of Congress to submit up to 20 Community Project Funding (CPF) requests for consideration.

CPF is a process that allows members of Congress to request direct funding for projects that benefit the communities they represent. This process includes robust eligibility, ethics, and transparency guidelines and is only available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as some non-profits. Additionally, only projects with evidence of strong support from the community will be considered, and evidence of this support and community need is required as part of the submission.

Please note the deadline to submit FY2027 CPF requests varies by project. The deadline falls on either Friday, March 6 at 5:00 PM or Friday, March 13 at 5:00 PM.

Local governments, municipalities, and eligible non-profit organizations that are seeking to submit a CPF funding request must submit their requests through the application form HERE.
