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

Organizations eligible as non-governmental organizations under the PFRON Article 36 task-commissioning competition; detailed legal-form eligibility follows the competition rules.

Eligible project scope

Six competition directions: labour-market entry; independence; activity in life; access to information; quality of functioning of the person’s environment; and positive social attitudes/knowledge about disability.

Employment contract type

For an employment-based project role, the person must be hired or seconded to perform tasks directly related to the project. Hiring/secondment must be documented in the employment contract, duties scope or job description, identifying the project and all tasks.

Other condition

Applications are accepted from 23 September 2026 at 12:00 through 27 October 2026 at 12:00 via iPFRON+; the announcement says no application is possible after the deadline.

Other condition

In direction 1, at least 20% of ultimate beneficiaries must achieve planned employment; this is a beneficiary outcome target and is not a minimum project-employee headcount.

Other condition

PFRON open competition 1/2026, “Czas na aktywność”; applicant organizations submit projects under Article 36 rehabilitation tasks.

Other condition

When a project civil-law contractor is also employed by the same organization, the civil-law work must be precisely defined, effectively feasible alongside employment, and (when both apply in the same project) different in kind from the employment duties; hours and tasks must be recorded. Multiple contracts or PFRON projects must remain effectively manageable and logged.

Other condition

Planned direction shares of the 2027 pool: 1=14%, 2=67%, 3=10%, 4=3%, 5=4%, 6=2%; PFRON may change the pool and the split by Board decision.

Other condition

Maximum indirect-cost flat rates on direct costs: 20% for eligible-project costs <=PLN500,000; 19% >500,000–1m; 18% >1m–2m; 16% >2m–3m; 13% >3m–5m; 12% >5m. The amount depends on the direct costs budgeted and reductions applied; commissioned substantive services reduce the calculation base by their value. Direction 6 excludes flat-rate indirect costs.

Other condition

For help direction 1, planned internship or training stipends must use rates provided by the 20 March 2025 Act on the labour market and employment services; the announcement gives no numeric stipend amount.

Other condition

The reviewed current announcement, competition rules and eligible-cost guidelines describe salary-cost eligibility and documentation but provide no named position roster or fixed salary/pay amount; no salary maximum or individual pay entitlement is inferred.

Other condition

Maximum costs for the functioning of applicant-designated project units are 10% of total eligible costs up to PLN 500,000; 9% >500,000–1m; 8% >1m–2m; 7% >2m–3m; 6% >3m–5m; 5% >5m. The base is eligible costs and limits apply each period for multiyear projects.

Catalogue budget

PLN 200,000

Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.

Funding per beneficiary, maximum

PLN 500,000

Conditional applicant-wide cap for organizations with at least 24 months of disability-work activity and no prior Article 36 PFRON agreement. It applies to the sum requested in all applications this competition; for multiyear projects the full period is counted; for joint applications prior PFRON performance is assessed only for the lead applicant.

Call allocation

PLN 400,000,000

Planned 2027 public funding pool; financing decisions remain within PFRON’s 2027 financial plan and the Board may change the allocation and direction shares.

Eligible cost

For a project-employed person with a disability, the reimbursable remuneration is reduced by monthly wage subsidy received under Article 26a; the project engagement proportion is used in the calculation. This is an offset rule, not a salary ceiling.

Eligible cost

Direct substantive personnel costs are eligible; the guidelines give trainers and therapists as examples. For projects under paid activity, remuneration limits in Article 9 of the Public Benefit and Volunteer Work Act apply.

Eligible cost

A project may budget outsourcing of a substantive service to an external provider; its cost is separate from personnel costs and reduces the basis for calculating the indirect-cost flat rate.

Eligible cost

Eligible personnel remuneration includes remuneration, mandatory employer/employee social-security contributions and other legally required contributions/payments, subject to the personnel cost rules.

Eligible cost

Project personnel are persons who personally perform project tasks, including employees, civil-law contractors, self-employed persons and volunteers; the general rule budgets personnel remuneration in either the administrative-personnel or substantive-personnel category.

Eligible cost

Costs of support by a job coach/work trainer (trener pracy) are eligible only under help direction 1.
