APPROPRIATIONS REQUESTS

Programmatic & Language Requests

Each year, the United States Congress considers and enacts annual appropriations bills, which provide the federal government with the funding it needs to operate. These bills fund numerous activities, including government operations, medical research, national defense, infrastructure, and education. You or your organization may submit programmatic or report language requests for Fiscal Year 2027. Programmatic requests include funding for specific federal programs that are important to you or your organization. Report language requests include specific policy directives to federal agencies. At this time, we have not received formal guidance or deadlines from the House Appropriations Committee. However, our legislative team is accepting FY27 Programmatic and Language Requests until March 13th. 2026 - FORM HERE. Rep. April McClain Delaney appreciates your input into the annual appropriations process and we look forward to working with you as the Appropriations Committee takes up the FY27 spending bills.

Important Notice: FY 2027 guidance has not yet been formally released. Requests submitted prior to the release of official guidance may require additional information, and staff may follow up as needed.

If you have questions or need assistance before submitting a request, please contact our office at (202) 225-2721 or email our appropriations staffer, Katy Foley (katy.foley@mail.house.gov), with questions.

Reminder: The deadline for Programmatic and Language Appropriations submissions is March 13th, but this is subject to change at the discretion of staff. Once the form closes, it will not reopen. Please submit your request as early as possible.
