Fiscal Year 2026 Appropriations Request Forms

NJ-08 Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Appropriations Request Forms

Congressman Rob Menendez is currently accepting appropriations requests for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26)

The final deadline to submit all FY26 requests to our office is COB Friday, April 25, 2025. However, please note that submitting projects earlier provides more time for addressing any eligibility issues with a project before the submission deadline.

Our biggest priority is serving the people of New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District, including by ensuring federal funds meet NJ-08 needs and support projects that benefit our communities. This page is designed to ensure our constituents have a place and the resources needed to submit FY26 appropriations requests for consideration.

The Appropriations Committee has released preliminary guidance for all FY26 requests, and each subcommittee will release more detailed guidance on CPF eligibility standards for individual accounts in the coming days.

For FY26, you can submit (i) programmatic, (ii) language, and (iii) Community Project Funding (CPF) requests.

Programmatic requests: A programmatic request is a request to fund a federal agency or program at a specified level.

Example: Provide $6,000,000,000 for the Transit Security Grant Program.

Language requests: A language request is a request for bill or report language that does not direct funding to a particular entity but encourages, urges, or directs some type of action by an agency.

Example: The Committee directs the Environmental Protection Agency to submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on efforts to clean up polluted waterways.

CPF requests: CPF requests are applications from state or local government entities or 501(c)(3) nonprofits for project-specific funding through one of the eligible Appropriations Subcommittee accounts. Please note that not all accounts will permit submissions from nonprofits, and applicants should review eligibility standards closely. CPF applications must adhere to strict eligibility standards.

Please review the links and information below in order to submit your FY26 appropriations requests.
