Appropriations Requests
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law" - U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 9
Senator Coons' Investments Up and Down Delaware
One of Congress' most fundamental constitutional duties is the appropriations process – the annual allocation of funds for federal discretionary programs, supporting everything from national defense, to interstate transportation, to food assistance for low-income seniors, to research and development, and much more. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I intend to fight for the priorities that are most important to Delaware, and I want to hear directly from you about what those should be.
Individuals and organizations wishing to request federal funding through the congressional appropriations process should identify requests as either programmatic funding or Congressionally Directed Spending and complete the corresponding form, which can be found below. If you are unsure as to which category your request would fall under or have further questions, please contact Carter Thompson (carter_thompson@coons.senate.gov). Additional information may be requested to help clarify or justify your request. Please ensure contact information is accurate.
