Submit this form by March 14, 2025.  Please provide all information as appropriate to complete your request. Incomplete forms may result in your request not being considered.

This form is to submit a request for Community Project Funding for projects and activities that have a direct and positive impact on the 6th Congressional District of Texas.
Please read the eligibility criteria and selection guidance carefully before submitting a request.

Criteria and guidance can be found here: https://appropriations.house.gov/committee-activity/fy25-member-request-guidance

Submission of this information does not create a binding commitment on any party nor a guarantee that any organization or program will be awarded funding from any federal agency. Once submitted, this request may be made publicly available.

Only projects with demonstrated community support will be considered. For this reason, community letters of support are required. This could include letters of support from elected community leaders (e.g. mayors or other officials); press articles highlighting the need for the requested Community Project Funding; support from newspaper editorial boards; projects listed on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other publicly available planning documents; or resolutions passed by city councils or boards.

Important considerations for Community Project Funding:

• One-year funding. Each Community Project Funding request must be for fiscal year 2026 funds only and cannot include a request for multi-year funding.

•  Matching requirements. Several Federal programs eligible for Community Project Funding requests require a State or local match for projects either by statute or according to longstanding policy. The Appropriations Committee will not waive these matching requirements for Community Project Funding requests, so it is important that applying entities develop a plan for matching requirements prior to requesting a project. Note: This does not mean that matching funds must be in-hand prior to requesting a project, but that local officials must have a plan to meet such requirements in order for such a project to be viable.
