**Please be aware that the House Appropriations Committee has not yet released its official guidance for the FY2025 Community Project Funding process so our office will update this page with additional information and may modify our guidelines based on any changes made from previous years that are made**
For FY2025, Congressman Bera will have the opportunity to submit Community Project Funding requests to support highly qualified, local projects to the Appropriations Committee for consideration of direct federal funding. Our office may also provide an update on the timeline fir submissions once we have received more guidance from the Appropriations Committee. We anticipate each Member of Congress may be able to submit up to 15 requests for Community Project Funding.
Please click here to submit a FY2025 Community Project Funding request to Congressman Bera’s office.
In the past, eligible recipients of Community Project Funding include state, local, and tribal governments; publicly owned entities (e.g. universities, public utility districts, etc.); and registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

Programmatic and Language Requests
Every year, Congressman Bera also has the opportunity to advocate for overall funding of federal programs and grants that support California’s 6th District through the annual appropriations process. If your organization participates in any federally funded programs, Rep. Bera can advocate to maintain or increase the total funding for these grants.
Please fill out this form with your requests for programmatic funding, bill language, or report language. Please note that these appropriations requests cannot guarantee funding for any specific entity or project and requests must comply with all current House rules. Requests will only be accepted through this form.
If you have multiple requests, please submit a separate form for each request. Our office is accepting these requests on a rolling basis and will provide a deadline once we receive final guidance from the Appropriations Committee.
