(April 25, 2024) \u2014 Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) released the following statement on the Republican Majority\u2019s changes to the Appropriations and Community Project Funding Process:\n\n\u201cI\u2019m devastated that House Republicans have unexpectedly changed the rules for this year\u2019s Community Project Funding requests\u2013effectively rendering all nonprofits ineligible for federal funding through this process,\u201d said Rep. McGarvey. \u201cNonprofits in Louisville do amazing work for our communities and deserve access to the federal funding needed to sustain and grow their impact. House Republicans' choice to exclude them from the community project funding process is deeply unfair and an unmistakably partisan decision.\n\n\u201cTo be clear, this is not a cap on spending\u2014it is merely a restriction on who can receive the funds. This is extreme House Republicans thinking they know what's better for Louisville than Louisvillians do. And I can assure you, they do not.\n\n\u201cI am also incredibly frustrated that House Republicans have given eligible organizations effectively less than a week to submit requests for FY25\u2014a deliberate, exclusionary tactic that will create the kind of chaos and confusion we\u2019ve come to expect from the extremists in the Republican Majority. I look forward to a Democratic Majority that can reverse these decisions and ensure that all of our communities\u2019 funding needs can be appropriately evaluated. In the meantime, I will continue doing everything I can to deliver the federal investments Louisvillians deserve.\u201d\n\nEligible entities are encouraged to review the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Community Project Funding resource guide, application portal, and deadlines very carefully. The deadline to submit community project funding requests for FY25 to the Office of Rep. McGarvey is Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Rep. McGarvey can submit a maximum of 15 community project funding requests for FY25. More information is available on Rep. McGarvey\u2019s website.\n\nIn Fiscal Year 2024, Rep. McGarvey secured over $12 million in Community Project Funding. More information on those recipients can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mcgarvey.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-morgan-mcgarvey-slams-republican-majority-decision-to-cut-off-federal-funding-for-nonprofits"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5531459357589483, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
