Senator Murray is currently accepting appropriations requests for congressional directed spending for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26). The application will remain open until 5:00 pm PDT on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered on a rolling basis.
Congressional directed spending allows senators to set aside federal funds for specific projects in their states. This is an opportunity for eligible entities to apply to obtain funding for projects that would benefit from a one-time allocation of funds. There is no guarantee that the Senate Appropriations Committee will grant CDS requests in any given year. Similarly, accounts and eligibility requirements can change from one appropriations cycle to another, and the Senate Appropriations Committee has not yet published guidance for FY26. Requestors may be required to submit additional information to the Senator’s office at a later time.
To obtain the CDS request form, or should you have any questions, please contact Senator Murray’s office at appropriations@murray.senate.gov.
Senator Murray’s programmatic appropriations request form will be available at a date to be determined.
