Community Project Funding
Community Project Funding, an updated version of Congressional “earmarks” are a form of grant where Members of Congress request federal funding for a limited number of projects in their communities. These projects bring direct financial support to projects that make a real difference in the lives of constituents.
Each cycle, entities in Rep. Omar’s district are invited to apply for this funding opportunity. Rep. Omar then chooses which of the projects to advance for funding based on those applications. Please note that not all projects are eligible for this funding; the House majority determines the types of projects that are eligible each cycle, and Rep. Omar can only advance the projects that meet those criteria.
The projects that Rep. Omar selects will demonstrate strong community support, advance equity in her district, and are geographically spread throughout our communities. Please also note that our office encourages and will be selecting projects that are well into the planning process – “shovel-ready projects” – which are most likely to be approved for funding by the Committee.
