Appropriations Programmatic or Language Requests
Congresswoman Luz Rivas wants to hear from constituents about funding priorities and projects in California’s 29th Congressional District.
Programmatic and Language Requests offer an opportunity for Members of Congress to make programmatic requests for specific funding levels for agencies and programs funded through annual appropriations. Members of Congress also have an opportunity to request bill language or report language encouraging or directing a specific action by federal agencies.
The form below provides individuals and organizations with an opportunity to make programmatic or language requests as part of the appropriations process.
The House Committee on Appropriations will be soliciting feedback on funding levels and report language for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.
Programmatic Requests: A request for a specific funding level for a federal program.
Language Requests: A request to include specific bill or report language that does not direct funding to a particular entity but encourages, urges, or directs some type of action.
PLEASE USE THIS FORM FOR ALL PROGRAMMATIC AND LANGUAGE REQUESTS
As of now, all Programmatic and Language requests must be submitted by April 14, 2025. This page will be updated, as appropriate, with any further information from the House Appropriations Committee.
Appropriations Community Project Funding Requests
Community Project Funding (CPF) is an initiative that allows Members of Congress to request direct funding for projects that benefit the communities they represent. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, Members are able to submit up to 15 CPF requests, in addition to programmatic and language requests.
DOWNLOAD THE FULL CPF OFFICE GUIDE
Please note, the number of CPF requests a member may submit and the timeframe to accept submissions are due to external guidelines and deadlines set by the Majority House Appropriations Committee.
PLEASE USE THIS FORM FOR ALL CPF REQUESTS
All CPF requests must be submitted by April 14, 2025. This page will be updated, as appropriate, with any further information from the House Appropriations Committee. Applying does not guarantee selection from the Member or funding from the Appropriations Committee.
Please email Rivas.Appropriations@mail.house.gov if you have any concerns or questions. If your request is selected, you may be asked to submit additional information. The process is extremely limited. Each request must meet several specific criteria, be vetted, and your submission information will be publicly posted.
