Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant type

Applicants established in Poland: public cultural institutions; local government units applying on behalf of local government-run cultural institutions; art schools and art universities; cultural-sector NGOs; and cultural-sector SMEs.

Eligible project scope

The call supports cultural/artistic projects, projects professionalising the cultural sector, and projects using cultural formats to support artistic expression, intercultural dialogue and reduced disparities, within the detailed listed scope.

Ineligible project scope

Activities connected to book publishing, computer-game production, film production/distribution, and construction or renovation works are not eligible.

Other condition

Expenditure eligibility ends by the earlier applicable limit: no later than 36 months after project start and no later than 30 April 2031.

Other condition

Eligible expenditure begins no earlier than the grant-award decision date; the grant decision and project contract dates are distinct.

Other condition

At least 30% (1 050 000 Euro = 4 454 730 PLN) of the abovementioned amount shall be reserved for projects having NGOs as project promoters. In case there are insufficient eligible applications for reaching the 30% earmarked funds, any uncommitted funds will return to the general pool and will be allocated in the next call.

Other condition

Only NGOs may count in-kind volunteer work toward own contribution, capped at 50% of that contribution; this does not make volunteer work a salary or grant payment.

Other condition

Payment schedule: 60% advance after contract signature; 30% interim after spending at least 60% of the advance; final 10% after approval of the final report. Payment portions are shares of the grant, not grant rates.
