The House Appropriations Committee recently announced the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. As of Monday, April 14, House Members may begin submitting programmatic and language requests and Community Project Funding requests for the upcoming year. Deadlines for all the different subcommittees are available. The Senate Appropriations Committee also released guidance to the Senators for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) requests. The earmark requests to the Committee are May 16, so individual senators will set even earlier deadlines for their own consideration. Visit the website of your Member of Congress and/or Senator to find out if they are accepting requests and their deadline.
