Congressionally Directed Spending
Thank you for your interest in applying for congressionally directed spending (CDS) through Senator Kaine’s office. Please check back later for information regarding Fiscal Year 2027 requests.
Once a request is submitted, it goes through an internal review process to ensure the project is eligible for funding and has a substantial benefit to the community. If the project meets that criteria, Senator Kaine pushes to get the project funded in the annual government funding bill to help ensure the bill meets Virginians’ needs.
It is important to note that the budgetary constraints currently facing the federal government, as well as the Committee’s parameters on congressionally directed spending, limit the opportunities for community project funding. Submission of an application does not guarantee that funding will be appropriated.
If you are interested in receiving periodic updates about CDS, please sign up here and make sure to check the box that says "Appropriations & Community Project Funding."
If you have questions, please reach out to Kaine_Approps@kaine.senate.gov and approps@warner.senate.gov.
