Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) projects are high-impact projects located in Georgia that can be jumpstarted or reach completion with assistance from the Federal Government. As a reminder, for profit entities are not eligible to receive CDS funding.

Programmatic requests consist of requests to change or maintain funding levels for specific federal programs and agencies that may support programs in Georgia. Programmatic requests may also consist of report language to direct, encourage, or urge a federal agency or department to carry out a desired action. Programmatic requests are NOT funding requests for specific local projects. Please note that there will be separate application portals for defense and non-defense programmatic requests.
