Private non-profit entities with at least two years of experience in managing social projects, registered with the appropriate public agencies, and based in the target areas, are eligible to participate. They must also demonstrate compliance with tax and labor obligations, as well as integrity and transparency criteria.
Organizations linked to social projects of banking entities or public administration are excluded, as well as those that do not justify projects awarded in previous editions.
Eligible projects and evaluation criteriaThe call prioritizes proposals related to environmental sustainability, ecological transition , innovation, and community participation.

The jury will make its decision before December 31, 2025, in a confidential process whose decisions will be final.
The total grant amounts to €75,000 per area, divided into three awards of up to €25,000 each. Eighty percent of the grant will be paid upon signing the agreement, and the remaining 20% upon final justification of expenses.
Commitments of the winning entitiesThe winning entities must execute their projects within the established timeframes, justify the funds received, and facilitate the participation of Moeve Group volunteers.
