Machine-classified from the call text; check eligibility at the source. 23 Oct 2026

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

This loan route is for national parks. The programme makes the liquidity-preservation loan option exclusively available to national parks; the call announcement identifies national parks as beneficiaries.

Application restriction

Applications use the call-specific form in GWD with an electronic signature. If the applicant cannot use that signature, it must also send the generated signed printout and representation-authorized declarations. Only one application per same applicant, same project and same financing form is processed; the first received application takes precedence.

Application restriction

Access criteria include the deadline and call form; completeness and valid signature; park beneficiary and eligible project type; no applicant-caused NFOŚiGW termination in the prior three years except mutual agreement; no specified public or civil arrears; project not completed before filing; compliance with programme periods and financing form/intensity; and an underlying FEPW/FEnIKS project included on the approved project list or selected for funding. Loan applications do not undergo financial assessment.

Application restriction

The exact 2026 national-park loan route is scheduled for continuous intake from 1 April 2026 through 30 June 2027. The local source row was captured open on 23 October 2026; no live GWD check was made.

Application restriction

Before the NFOŚiGW loan agreement, the applicant must have an FEPW/FEnIKS project funding agreement and submit the Minister of Climate and Environment’s consent to incur the loan. The programme also requires the applicable NFOŚiGW co-financing grant agreement for the project.

Eligible project scope

The route applies to specified FEPW/FEnIKS projects implemented through NFOŚiGW: FEPW.02.03 Types II (build/expand educational facilities and equipment) and IV (environmental awareness/pro-environmental attitudes); FEnIKS.01.04.6 waste-prevention and circular-economy information/education; FEnIKS.01.05.4 protected-area capacity/management including national-park educational bases and .01.05.8 nature-protection education; and FEnIKS.02.04.10 climate adaptation and water-resource education. The underlying FEPW/FEnIKS support agreement controls project eligibility.

Other condition

The liquidity-preservation loan is limited to 2 years from project completion; it has no capital repayment grace period and must be repaid within 7 days of VAT refund to the borrower, or by the end of the loan term if the refund does not arrive. It is non-forgivable and may be a revolving limit.

Other condition

The call offers a loan, including a liquidity-preservation loan for EU-co-financed projects. Under programme §7.2(2), the loan may not exceed the total VAT value specified in the FEPW/FEnIKS project-funding agreement. This is a VAT-value ceiling, not an individual project-grant percentage.

Other condition

The route is a financing loan and the retained notice/programme do not state a hiring obligation, job titles, headcount or salary rate. The current EU guidelines conditionally recognize underlying project-personnel costs, but their project agreement-specific eligibility does not create an NFOŚiGW loan-funded job or payroll entitlement.

Other condition

The broader Edukacja ekologiczna programme budget is up to PLN 450 million, including up to PLN 380 million non-repayable and PLN 70 million repayable. The current call notice separately states PLN 70 million for this national-park loan route.

Other condition

Standard co-financing loans are not forgivable. The programme’s separate loan-forgiveness text does not apply to this instrument.

Call allocation

PLN 70,000,000

Call announcement specifies this amount from national NFOŚiGW funds for the current route. It is a pool, not an applicant or project cap.

Eligible cost

Underlying eligible costs and amounts are defined in the applicant’s FEPW/FEnIKS funding agreement. The programme’s stated cost period is 1 January 2021–31 December 2029; for loans, VAT is also treated as eligible. The 2021–2027 Ministry expenditure guidelines govern eligibility procedures and prevail over NFOŚiGW’s general cost guidelines; final eligibility is determined after approval of the EU final payment claim. Costs found eligible in the FEPW/FEnIKS agreement remain the basis for NFOŚiGW co-financing.

Eligible cost

For the underlying FEPW/FEnIKS project-cost rules, the retained Ministry 2021–2027 guidelines (current official text dated 19 May 2026) say project-personnel engagement costs may qualify when necessary by project character; eligible salary components include gross pay and employer charges; duties must be documented; and where only part of an employee’s work relates to the project, those duties must be separately identified and the salary cost apportioned. This is not a claim that the NFOŚiGW loan itself reimburses salaries: the route loan is capped by the VAT amount in the EU funding agreement, and project-specific rules/agreements control.

Grace period, maximum

18 months from project completion

Standard project co-financing loan only; not the liquidity-preservation loan, for which the programme expressly provides no capital repayment grace period.

Loan interest, minimum

1.5 percent per year; WIBOR 3M minus 100 basis points, subject to 1.5% floor

Applies to both standard project and liquidity-preservation loans; interest is serviced quarterly and the first payment falls at the end of the calendar quarter following the quarter of first tranche payment.

Loan principal, minimum

PLN 100,000

Liquidity-preservation loan under programme §7.3(3), available exclusively to national parks for EU-co-financed projects.

Loan principal, minimum

PLN 100,000

Standard project co-financing loan under programme §7.3(2), not the separate liquidity-preservation loan option.

Loan term, maximum

120 months from project completion

Standard project co-financing loan, maximum 10 years from project completion, with an 18-month grace period from project completion. Distinct from liquidity loan term.
