Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) today released guidance for Fiscal Year 2025 Community Project Funding requests and deadlines for all Fiscal Year 2025 Member requests.
Chairman Cole said in a dear colleague to Members, "Per the GOP Conference’s decision to maintain Community Project Funding for the 118th Congress and our short timeline to draft and consider next year’s bills, the Committee is maintaining similar eligible program accounts and full committee guidance for Fiscal Year 2025 Community Project Funding.
"One notable change is that non-profits are no longer eligible for Community Project Funding in the Economic Development Initiative (EDI) account. Similar to previous reforms made in this Congress, this change aims to ensure projects are consistent with the community development goals of the federal program."
Chairman Cole’s dear colleague is available here.
