Appropriations Requests
Congresswoman Emilia Sykes invites you to submit requests for the Congressional appropriations cycle. The annual appropriations process is a tool that Congress uses to invest in policies and programs that help our communities. Submitting your appropriations requests also provides another opportunity for Congress to hear directly from you – the constituent – about how our federal funding should be prioritized and spent.
Submitting a request for funding does not guarantee that funding will be appropriated. All requests must comply with House rules.
The FY27 Appropriations Cycle is now open and Congresswoman Sykes is accepting programmatic and language appropriations requests. The deadline to submit to our office is 6:00 p.m. on March 6, 2026. The form to submit a request can be found here. Please use only one form per request.
Community Project Funding Requests
Community Project Funding allows Members of Congress to target federal funds towards projects and programs that will address the most significant needs facing the communities they represent. Only state, local, and tribal governments; publicly owned entities; and certain non-profit entities with a quasi-government purpose are eligible to request Community Project Funding.
