WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, which funds federal agencies and programs—announced the start of a new cycle for appropriation requests.

Eligible entities that can apply for funding include state or local governmental entities and certain eligible non-profit organizations. All for-profit groups and entities are ineligible. Eligible projects are broken down by each spending bill.

General programmatic and language appropriation requests allow Members of Congress to advocate on behalf of federal programs that are important to their districts.
