Community Project Funding

The Community Project Funding (CPF) process allows Members of Congress to direct funding towards specific projects back in their district. This process was previously referred to as “earmarks” but has since been revamped to include strict ethics and transparency requirements.

You can view Congressman Schneider's funded projects, including examples of successful applications, for FY 2023 here, FY 2024 here, and FY 2026 here.

Congressman Schneider’s office will begin accepting CPF applications for FY2027 on February 27^th. Our deadline for all CPF submissions is Friday, March 6^th at 2pm CT.

Please Note: Applicants cannot save unsubmitted drafts of application in our online portal, we strongly encourage you to compile your application in a separate program—like Microsoft Word—and then submit the application once you have all your answers written out. Applications are only received by our office once you hit ‘submit’ in the forms below.

In addition to the guidance for each individual appropriations account, we strongly encourage you to review the following:
