Who should attend?
CEOs and Development team members are strongly encouraged to attend. Whether you are new to this process or have applied in the past, this session will help you prepare for the upcoming funding cycle.

Background
Congress has opened the FY2027 Congressionally Directed Spending/Community Project Funding process, providing nonprofit community-based organizations the opportunity to request Federal discretionary funding for eligible programmatic or capital projects.
Applications are currently underway. Both U.S. Senators from New York are accepting submissions through March 22, and the House of Representatives has released updated FY2027 guidance. Individual House members will set their own application deadlines, with some occurring as early as March 6.
Organizations considering a request are encouraged to review Senate and House eligibility guidance, available funding accounts, and application instructions through the respective Senate portals or individual House member websites:
House guidance: Guidelines for Eligibility and available Funds
Application portals:
Each House member maintains their own application portal; check individual websites or contact offices directly.
