Question 1

How many grants are there in the Basque Country for the third sector?

Accepted Answer

Our catalogue holds 1,805 calls in the Basque Country aimed at non-profit organisations, and 110 have their application window open right now. The catalogue is updated every night from the Base de Datos Nacional de Subvenciones and from the websites of the private foundations.

Question 2

Who can apply for grants in the Basque Country?

Accepted Answer

Associations, foundations, federations, social-initiative cooperatives and other non-profit organisations with their own legal personality. Most regional and local calls also require a registered office or proven activity in the territory, and entry in the corresponding regional register.

Question 3

When do grants in the Basque Country come out?

Accepted Answer

There is no single date: every public body runs its calls on its own calendar. Regional ones usually open between January and April, local ones in spring and autumn, and those from private foundations throughout the year. Each programme's record shows which month every earlier edition opened in, which is the best clue as to when it will come round again.

Question 4

Which requirements keep coming up in calls in the Basque Country?

Accepted Answer

Being up to date with Hacienda and the Seguridad Social, having no clawback outstanding from another grant, having been established for a minimum number of years (one or two, depending on the call) and filing the application through the sede electrónica – the government's online filing portal – with a digital certificate. Every record in the catalogue lists that call's specific requirements and the warnings that rule an application out.

Question 5

How do I know whether my organisation fits a call in the Basque Country?

Accepted Answer

With a free account you describe your organisation – fields of work, territory, budget, how long you have been going – and we work out the fit with every call in the catalogue. The ones that rule you out on a knock-out requirement are marked as such, so you don't spend time on them.
