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 restrictionApplicant eligibility screen only; no individual applicant status determined.

Access is denied where, during the three years before application, NFOŚiGW terminated or rescinded a funding agreement for reasons attributable to the applicant, except mutual-consent termination; the applicant must also meet public-law obligations to relevant bodies and public- and civil-law obligations to NFOŚiGW.

Applicant typeNo applicant or project-specific status was verified.

Eligible applicants are national parks and ecological non-governmental organizations only when, in the FEnIKS or FEPW project, they are the beneficiary, a partner, or an entity authorized to incur eligible expenditure. The authorized cost payer and partner categories are not unrestricted standalone applicant types.

Application restrictionPublished procedural deadlines; actual assessment timing is not known.

Access review is a binary pass/fail. One supplementation is permitted within five business days of the request; failure to deliver requested documents or sufficient explanations, or other request conditions in the regulation, leads to rejection. After rejection the applicant may request a repeat assessment within five business days; the regulation states NFOŚiGW should decide that request within 15 business days.

Application restrictionCurrent official route page and its linked September 2026 call announcement; live GWD not tested.

The current call announcement states continuous applications from 3 March 2025 through 30 June 2027, with submissions through GWD; applications after the deadline are rejected. The snapshot lists the row open as of 22 October 2026. Live GWD acceptance was not tested.

Application restrictionExact current snapshot row pl_nfosigw:960fb7b0ad233b8c, fingerprint 648df39a177d7d6937a179cd7ff9afc83c7fb8a4cf16cf4efa9a31e00eda6574; terms below are attributed to the current official route page and its linked 2026 announcement/programme, with identifier mismatch explicitly retained.

The exact current snapshot record is identifier 8/NC/OP/4.2.1/2025/parki narodowe_przyroda, listed open on 22 October 2026 for 3 March 2025–30 June 2027. Its official URL now has a current page titled “Nabór wniosków 2026 dla części 1”, linking a September 2026 updated call announcement and 2026 programme named “4.1.1 2026”, plus a 2025 continuous-call regulation named “pp 4.2 2025”. The programme title and beneficiary/project scope align, but the exact 4.2.1/2025 snapshot code vs attachment branding 4.1.1/2026 is not reconciled.

Application restrictionProcedural rules linked from the current official call page; exact filing channel not live-tested.

Applications are submitted through GWD with an electronic signature. If the applicant cannot use an electronic signature, it must still submit the electronic version and also deliver a GWD-generated printout with barcode and signed declarations; the printout may be delivered to NFOŚiGW or sent by post/courier, and timely receipt follows the applicable electronic-send or office-receipt rule.

Application restrictionSame intake and same funding form; reapplication exception applies after rejection at access evaluation.

Within this intake, one application may be filed for the same undertaking under the same form of support; when duplicate applications are filed, only the first is considered. Rejection at the access-criteria stage does not bar a new application for the undertaking in the same call.

Application restrictionCurrent Part 1 access screen; criteria are source-specific and not a finding that any applicant passes them.

Access criteria require timely filing on the current form and in required format, completeness and proper signature with all required attachments, an eligible beneficiary and programme-aligned objective/type, no prior project completion, consistency of project/payment period and funding form/intensity, and FEnIKS/FEPW status on the approved-project list. The detailed criteria are binary access checks.

Application restrictionApplication must attach to a selected EU project; no project-specific award status verified.

The FEnIKS/FEPW project must already have “selected for funding” status before the NFOŚiGW grant application can be submitted, and signing the NFOŚiGW agreement is conditioned on the FEnIKS/FEPW project financing agreement.

Eligible project scopeFENX.01.05 only; exact project class and agreement govern the actual cost scope.

Eligible FENX.01.05 project types: in-situ/ex-situ protection of threatened species/habitats; planning documents for protected areas; invasive alien species control; protected-area management capacity (excluding construction/extension/modernization of national-park educational facilities); green/blue infrastructure with facilities; and nature/air/noise monitoring.

Eligible project scopeFENX.02.04 only; exact EU project class and project-specific cost agreement govern.

Eligible FENX.02.04 types are small-retention support; renaturalization of modified watercourses and water-dependent areas; environmental forecasting and warning systems; and rescue systems including forest-fire prevention, response and impact reduction.

Eligible project scopeFEPW only; activity must also be selected for EU funding and satisfy project-level cost rules.

Eligible FEPW.02.03 Biodiversity co-financing scope comprises ecological-corridor projects and tourist-flow management projects.

Other conditionProject-specific agreement outcomes remain unknown.

After access review, the NFOŚiGW process includes negotiations where funding amount may differ from the request because of public-aid or programme limits; project scope, ecological effects, timetable, disbursements and funding mix may be agreed. The board resolution and contract are later steps; published process timelines are administrative targets, not an applicant-specific decision date.

Other conditionConditional only if the support constitutes State aid.

If support constitutes State aid, it is provided under the applicable public-aid rules. No particular aid basis, eligible cost method, beneficiary status, rate or compatibility finding is established for this row.

Other conditionThe 2026 Part 1 programme and its current linked cost rules; individual EU project agreement can impose project-specific conditions.

The programme cost period runs 1 January 2021–31 December 2029. Eligibility is determined under NFOŚiGW eligible-cost guidelines and the 2021–2027 EU expenditure-eligibility guidelines, together with the NFOŚiGW funding agreement with FEnIKS or FEPW. For an authorized cost payer or project partner, only costs for that entity’s own activities qualify; for a lead beneficiary with other partners, only activities performed by programme-listed beneficiary entities are counted.

Other conditionCurrent linked programme provision controls route-specific scope; any general NFO process applies subject to this explicit scope.

The programme refers to NFOŚiGW general financing rules and selection criteria, but it separately states that projects co-financed by non-repayable FEPW/FEnIKS funds are assessed only under the programme access criteria. No additional scored quality criterion is inferred for this route.

Other conditionProgramme-level form and implementation dates; not the applicant-specific realization or payout period.

The instrument is a non-repayable grant. Programme commitments (contract signing) run through 31 December 2027, while disbursement runs through 31 December 2030; this is the programme implementation horizon, not a grant payment schedule.

Other conditionThe aggregate public support for the project is limited by the expressly stated residual eligible-cost formula; no individual award is inferred.

For both programme-rate groups, NFOŚiGW grant is limited to filling the eligible-cost gap up to 100% total funding and may not exceed eligible costs minus the relevant Cohesion Fund or ERDF grant. The actual eligible-cost base and EU grant amount are project-specific.

Other conditionPublished process only; no application-specific decision or calendar date.

The regulations set NFOŚiGW working-day targets: registration up to 3 days, access review up to 3 days, one applicant supplementation within 5 days, renewed access review up to 3 days, negotiations up to 20 days, board resolution up to 13 days when grant amount is no more than EUR 500,000 or up to 43 days when above, and contract preparation/signing up to 16 days or 46 days where Supervisory Board approval is required. The regulations state these deadlines are instructional and not a basis for applicant claims if missed. These are process targets, not an individual award promise.

Call allocationCurrent Part 1 programme allocation.

PLN 45,000,000

Published total only; remaining committed balance, exact amount for this intake and individual applicant award are unknown.

Eligible costGeneral routing rule only; no application-specific EU grant/cost schedule is available in the snapshot.

This Part 1 programme does not provide a standalone exhaustive priced cost catalogue. It expressly routes eligible-cost determination through NFOŚiGW guidelines, EU 2021–2027 eligibility guidelines and the FEnIKS/FEPW funding agreement; the NFO guide also notes that EU co-financing follows those EU programme guidelines and the NFO/EU agreement unless the priority programme provides otherwise. Specific works, equipment, procurement and non-personnel lines therefore require the underlying EU project and agreement; this packet does not assume every nature-conservation cost qualifies.

Funding intensity, maximumMaximum NFOŚiGW national grant co-financing rate for FENX.02.04 projects; distinct from EU grant rate.

20.29 percent of eligible costs

Applies only to listed FENX.02.04 project types; tops up own contribution toward 100% eligible costs and cannot exceed eligible costs less the Cohesion Fund grant.

Funding intensity, maximumMaximum NFOŚiGW national grant co-financing rate for FEPW.02.03 and FENX.01.05 projects; not the EU programme rate.

15 percent of eligible costs

Applies to FEPW.02.03 and FENX.01.05 scope; grant tops up own contribution toward 100% eligible costs, and cannot exceed eligible costs less the EU Cohesion Fund and/or ERDF grant.

Ineligible costSelected personnel-specific exclusions only, not an exhaustive transcription of subchapter 2.3.

The EU eligibility guidelines exclude personnel costs described in subchapter 2.3, including ZFŚS benefits, public-officer civil-liability insurance and discretionary non-statutory contributions unless the stated work-rule, six-month and equal-coverage conditions are all met. The precise full list of excluded personnel-cost categories is lengthy; only cited representative exclusions and the conditional-contribution exception are encoded here.

• Conditional project-personnel cost category sourced from MFiPR eligibility guidelines §3.8 and incorporated by the exact Part 1 programme §6(2); this is not a vacancy or hiring commitment.

  Other role · Staff cost the grant can fund

  Potentially eligible only where project-staff involvement is necessary for the project character; employment/assignment is documented in an employment agreement, assignment/official duties or job description identifying project tasks; for partially assigned staff, tasks are expressly separated, a defensible proportion of actual project time is calculated and the salary cost follows that proportion unless responsibility, complexity or competency level justifies a different ratio. For EFRR/FS/FST, project remuneration cannot exceed beneficiary staff on analogous positions/qualifications. General eligible components include gross salary and employer charges under applicable rules. No hiring duty, named role, headcount, hours, pay amount or salary rate is stated.
