This is in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests. Each Member is limited to no more than 15 Community Project Funding requests across all eligible subcommittees for Fiscal Year 2025 and there is no guarantee that all requested projects will be funded.

Please note:
Congressman Johnson will NOT accept CPF requests for projects outside of GA-04.
All projects must meet the relevant statutory and administrative criteria for funding through the grant program under which it is submitted.
A request submitted to Congressman Johnson does NOT guarantee the project will be selected.
The selection of a project does NOT guarantee it will be funded by the Appropriations Committee.
The Committee will NOT provide cost-share waivers and grantees are legally responsible for meeting the non-federal cost share requirements and all other applicable grant criteria.
The deadline for submitting project requests to Congressman Johnson was COB Friday, April 26, 2024.
More information on the process can be found on the House Appropriations Committee's page. Staff may follow up for additional information to support the CPF request such as budget justification, documentation of community support and need, or proof of ability to meet match requirements once an initial request is submitted.

Eligible Entities & Projects
Only state and local government entities, public institutions, and non-profit entities are eligible to submit and receive funding through CPF. Funding cannot be directed to for-profit entities and will not include waivers for State or local match requirements. While matching funds do not have to be in-hand prior to the request, requesting entities must have a plan to meet such requirements for the project to be viable. Additionally, each submission must be for FY2024 only and cannot include multi-year funding requests. The Committee will only consider projects with demonstrated community support in the form of: letters from local elected officials; press articles highlighting need; support from newspaper editorial boards; mentions on State intended use plans, community development plans, or other publicly available planning documents; resolutions passed by city councils or boards; etc.
