DEADLINE: COB April 20, 2022

How to formulate your project request:

The deadline to submit project requests to Rep. Walberg’s office was COB April 20, 2022 by emailing the form(s) and all requested documentation to: MI07TW_Community_Project_Funding_Requests@mail.house.gov.

The Appropriations Committee will give added weight to project requests that already have local, state or private funding and only need the remaining federal funds to fully complete the project or implement the program. The Appropriations Committee has limited funding available for Community Projects.

Examples of the types of Projects that are funded through the Appropriations Process:

Projects that are often funded include building a community center, senior center, recreation center or park, water infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, health care services, education programs, social services, police services or equipment, and other local government projects and programs. You can view previous projects submitted by Congressman Walberg here.
