We are pleased to inform you that the Office of Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) is now accepting requests for Community Project Funding (CPF) for the FY2027 Appropriations Cycle. Deadline and eligibility for FY27 CPFs is TUESDAY, MARCH 17th at 5PM EST. Late submissions will not be considered, so we strongly encourage early submissions.

To apply for FY27 Community Project Funding, please fill out this form and read the below closely. If you have questions regarding the application process, please reach out to nisha.thanawala@mail.house.gov. After applying, we may reach out if more information is required. If your project is selected by our office, we will contact you to let you know and make you aware of next steps.

This year, our office is permitted to select up to 20 Community Projects to be considered for funding by the House Committee on Appropriations. Please note: Due to new eligibility guidelines set by House Republicans, most appropriations accounts are NOT accepting requests for funding from non-profit entities. Unfortunately, many non-profits in NY-09 will not be eligible to receive this funding, even those with projects that would have been eligible in previous years. Only projects benefitting New York’s 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn will be considered by this office.

Once completed, each request will be reviewed by our office in a timely manner. We typically receive a high volume of requests and appreciate your patience. Please be aware that we may reach out to request additional information so please keep an eye on your email. It is important to remember that even if a project is selected among the 20 projects submitted by this office for consideration, that is NOT a guarantee of funding. Funding of eligible Community Projects is contingent on approval by the House Committee on Appropriations AND Congress passing a full year appropriations bill for FY2027.
