Congressionally Directed Spending

As part of the broader appropriations process, CDS (previously known as earmarks) is a mechanism by which members of Congress can request funding for specific projects in their home state that have been submitted for consideration by local government entities and nonprofits. This year, Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper will have a joint application process for CDS projects. Applicants will be able to complete one application form which will be received by both offices. Each Senator will then review project requests and submit to the Appropriations Committee individually.

The deadline to complete the CDS request form was Friday, March 29th, 2024 at 11:59 pm MT.

Our process for CDS requests is now closed.
