FY2027 Congressionally Directed Spending

The process for Fiscal Year 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) requests to the Office of Senator Tammy Duckworth is now closed.

Senator Duckworth's Fiscal Year 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending Projects can be found here.

Congressionally Directed Spending

The CDS process enables Congress to allocate funding for specific local projects. These projects are limited to use by units of government, nonprofit organizations and other organizations that meet strict eligibility requirements. For-profit entities are NOT eligible to participate.

For information on Senator Duckworth’s CDS process, visit the Fiscal Year 2027 guide.

In Fiscal Year 2026, Senator Duckworth successfully secured more than $63 million for infrastructure, economic development and essential services for communities throughout Illinois. A map detailing where funding has gone throughout Illinois can be found on the Senator’s website.

As she has done consistently, in an effort to ensure transparent and equitable consideration, Senator Duckworth will work with an Independent Review Board to examine and evaluate projects.

CDS is capped at 1% of all discretionary spending, and Fiscal Year 2027 project funding will be available to a limited number of projects that meet strict eligibility requirements only.
