The total amount of aid is 4,440,964 euros, of which 2.5 million will go to non-profit organizations and more than 1.9 million euros to for-profit entities.
Of the 1,064 applications submitted, 58 entities have been awarded grants: 31 non-profit organizations and 27 businesses. The grant amount for each entity ranges from €10,000 to €100,000.
These grants will be awarded to projects that promote accessibility, cultural, linguistic, and generational diversity, or foster equity in access to and participation in culture. Initiatives that encourage participatory processes, community development, and collaboration among different social and cultural stakeholders have also been considered.
Proposals aimed at social reconstruction in territories affected by natural disasters have been especially valued, with the objective of promoting the role of culture as a space for encounter and collective reconstruction.
This is the first time these types of grants have been offered, joining other actions that the Ministry of Culture, within its Cultural Rights Plan, has developed in recent months, and which seek to strengthen the participation and inclusion in culture of all sectors of society, as well as work on eliminating barriers to access to culture.
