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

Part 1 programme-level eligible classes include Polish-registered legal persons and organizational units with legal capacity, and natural persons conducting business. The programme excludes entities in bankruptcy/liquidation/receivership/suspension or similar proceedings, those subject to enforcement, and applicants or managing members with specified procurement-bribery/financial-benefit convictions.

Intake-specific beneficiary classes are expressly to be determined before each intake; current eligible classes/priority beneficiaries remain unverified for the planned 2026 round.

Eligible project scope

The programme aims to raise environmental awareness and shape ecological attitudes through sustainable-development promotion and strengthening professional groups influential in national environmental, energy and climate policy; detailed focus includes climate, environmental protection, sustainability, pro-environment behavior and ecological competencies.

Eligible project scope

Part 1 supports educational initiatives raising ecological awareness and implementing environmental, climate and energy policy. Programme examples include active education, information/education campaigns, targeted public or specialist education, media production, conferences, training/workshops, postgraduate studies, educational aids, contests/events, and facilities/centres for environmental education.

Before each intake the Board approves specific topic/project types and reach. This list is programme-wide, not a confirmation of the 2026 call focus.

Other condition

Before each intake, NFOŚiGW approves detailed terms, including topics, project kinds, reach and beneficiary types. Programme dates, submission and review details are set in a call notice or regulations.

No 2026 Part 1 call notice or regulations captured; do not treat all programme-level beneficiary/rate types as confirmed for this intake.

Other condition

Programme-level categories require nationwide reach (participants from 16 voivodeships) or, for specified project types, supraregional reach (at least 3 voivodeships), unless the call sets detailed exceptions. Minimum requested NFOŚiGW support is PLN 100,000, except conferences and press publications.

Detailed reach exceptions may be established by the upcoming intake notice.

Other condition

For projects of qualifying NGOs, documented unpaid volunteer services may count as non-cash eligible contribution up to 10% of project eligible costs, valued using recorded hours and market hourly/daily rates; this contribution is not reimbursed and reduces the project-management limit.

Other condition

Part 1 is implemented 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2028, with agreements through 31 December 2028 and spending through 31 December 2030. Eligible cost dates are 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2029.

Other condition

The whole Education programme has a ceiling budget of PLN 450 million: up to PLN 380 million non-repayable and PLN 70 million repayable. This is programme-wide, not the Part 1 2026 intake allocation.

Programme-wide only; no Part 1 intake pool or remaining budget inferred.

Other condition

Part 1 programme provides grant or transfer-of-funds forms. Grant intensity ceilings are 100% for national parks, 95% for projects of particular ministerial policy significance (except national parks), 90% for NGOs/public-benefit entities/public-finance-sector units and state organizational units other than state budget units and parks, and 70% for other entities. Transfer-of-funds intensity may reach 100%.

Rate depends on beneficiary class, and before each intake the Board determines detailed beneficiaries. Transfer-of-funds support can reach 100% but is not necessarily available in this scheduled intake.

Other conditionExact scheduled Part 1 route only.

The exact schedule row lists Part 1 Education for 2021–2028 as a planned continuous intake from 1 December 2026 to 31 December 2026; no identifier is published.

Schedule labels the intake planned. Current application notice, regulations and final implementation are not confirmed.

Eligible cost

The incorporated NFOŚiGW general cost guidelines conditionally allow employee remuneration where project activities are expressly identified in job description/duties and costs are prorated to project work; the programme itself specifies no named position, headcount, pay or required hiring.

Conditional generic cost category only. No job titles/headcount/pay are inferred; exact call rules may further define costs.

Eligible cost

Costs must be necessary and directly related, actual cash flows (except permitted NGO volunteer contribution); related-party procurement/grants are excluded. Project-management costs are capped simultaneously by the lesser of 20% of eligible project costs and 3% of eligible costs plus PLN 250,000. Guidelines apply with programme exceptions, including restricted preparation costs and exclusions for land acquisition and rent for education-centre construction projects.

Project-management ceiling is two simultaneous limits; land/rent exclusion applies to §7.5(3) facility projects, not generically to every project.
