Congresswoman Claudia Tenney has launched the Community Project Funding process for New York’s 24th District, inviting local governments and nonprofits to submit their proposals for fiscal year 2026.
The deadline for this year’s submissions is Thursday, April 24, at the close of business. Tenney’s office will review all applications to ensure they meet strict eligibility and accountability standards. Projects must show strong local support and be ready to use federal funds efficiently and transparently.
The CPF process allows members of Congress to advocate for projects that deliver direct benefits to their districts, offering an alternative to Washington’s traditional top-down approach. Tenney emphasized that the program improves transparency and oversight by involving the community in identifying funding priorities.
All proposed projects must align with appropriations guidelines and demonstrate a clear, executable plan. Tenney’s office works closely with grantees to ensure funds are spent responsibly and achieve their intended goals.
