WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) unveiled the FY25 Community Project Funding Appropriations Request Form for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. The initiative aims to facilitate funding for projects that directly benefit the communities within the district.

He emphasized that the process adheres to stringent eligibility, ethics, and transparency guidelines, making it accessible only to specific entities such as state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, along with certain non-profit organizations.

Moreover, Congressman Kean highlighted the importance of community backing for project consideration, stating, "Only projects with evidence of strong support from the community will be considered, and evidence of this support and community need is required as part of your submission."

For those seeking detailed instructions on the FY25 CPF Appropriations process, Congressman Kean directed them to follow the guidelines provided by the House Appropriations Committee. Interested parties were encouraged to submit their CPF requests for Fiscal Year 2025 by filling out the designated form before the deadline, which is set for 5:00 PM EST on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.

In conclusion, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. has initiated the FY25 Community Project Funding Appropriations Request Form to empower the communities of New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District by providing a platform for essential projects to receive vital financial support.
