Each year, Representatives have the opportunity to sponsor funding requests for local community projects that do not fit easily into the state’s existing grant and loan programs. If you have a project in the 47th Legislative District, I would love to work with you to see if we can secure funding for it. The first step towards a successful application is to make sure that your project is not eligible for funding under an existing state grant. This process is for projects that do not easily fit within existing grant programs and applications that can apply for a state grant will most likely be rejected.
After you have confirmed that your project cannot apply for an existing grant, you should fill out the online application form. Because the form cannot be saved and requires quite a bit of information, we have included the questions below so that you can be sure you have all the necessary information before applying. Finally, since these funding requests require a member to sponsor them, schedule a meeting with my office to discuss the project. The deadline for submitting a project for consideration is February 17th. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about projects in our community that need funding.
