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 typeQA hold

Local-government units and their associations, State Forests National Forest Holding and its organizational units.

Application restrictionApplication checklistQA hold

The form lists a project schedule and financing balance/source statement, security form, construction/water permits or other administrative decisions where applicable, technical/design documentation, environmental-fee certificate (after 1 April 2026), applicant legal-status documents, contractor/supplier agreement, financial-status information where applicable, public-aid documentation, and other task-specific documents. The Fund may request further documents needed for comprehensive assessment.

The form indicates conditional non-applicability for specified attachments based on project type, aid form and applicant legal status.

Application restrictionApplication form instructionsQA hold

Application and attachments must be dated and signed by persons authorized to represent the applicant; financial documents must be signed by persons authorized to incur financial obligations. Electronic submission requires electronic signature and e-Delivery; paper submission is permitted with required signatures and seals. The application is filed as a loan-grant request with separate requested loan and grant amounts.

Application restrictionApplicant submissionQA hold

One copy, paper or electronic, must arrive by the call deadline; electronic submission is accepted through e-Doręczenia or ePUAP. Portal Beneficjenta submission also requires a signed identical version (same control sum) sent by an accepted route.text

The receipt date is paper arrival at Fund office or receipt at e-Doręczenia/ePUAP; applications outside the published window are not considered.

Application restrictionQA hold

Contracts are concluded in 2026–2027; task acceptance by 31 October 2032. Call notice gives current intake dates 16 September–10 November 2026.

Ineligible project scopeQA hold

Programme excludes tasks solely consisting of household water tanks, residential/recreational ponds, rain gardens, single microretention solutions, fire tanks or aesthetic/recreational/landscape works.

Other conditionContract performanceQA hold

Contract amendments ordinarily require written form; narrow exceptions allow specified HRF/scope adjustments without a written amendment, including total cost change up to ±20% only if financing share is preserved, but not where the amount exceeds PLN 500,000, and schedule adjustments of ±1 month if payment dates do not change.text

The programme-specific agreement remains controlling and may impose stricter amendment/approval rules.

Other conditionFinal settlement for investment taskQA hold

Final settlement requires cost accounting, confirmation of completion and achievement of planned physical and ecological effects; supporting documents may include final acceptance protocol, administrative decisions, reports, opinions or test results as relevant to the project and agreement.text

The agreement may specify additional evidence; this is a general instruction, with the programme’s specific ecological effect report due within 12 months after task completion.

Other conditionCost eligibility hierarchyQA hold

The general cost catalogue is not applied to projects carried out under Board-adopted priority programmes unless that programme provides otherwise; its ordinary cost rows therefore do not replace the retention programme’s explicit cost conditions.text

The programme expressly lists costs directly related to the task, with its own excluded/own-contribution categories; consult its §2.5.

Other conditionGeneral WFO cost and settlement rulesQA hold

Under the general catalogue, WFO-funded invoices/receipts generally must be issued from the application date; own contribution for investment tasks may include costs incurred up to three years before the application. VAT is included only where the applicant cannot legally deduct any VAT proportion. These general rules are subordinate to programme-specific terms.text

Retention programme separately permits own-share costs up to 36 months before application and sets its own VAT condition.

Other conditionDrawdown and partial/final settlementQA hold

Payment and settlement submissions require invoices or receipts issued to the beneficiary (or a contract-authorized entity), together with evidence of payment, and amounts must match the contractual schedule/HRF. Payment documents are ordinarily eligible from the application date only where the amounts are in the HRF or agreement.text

The priority programme governs eligible categories and specially allows its own contribution incurred up to 36 months before application; do not apply the general invoice-date rule to Fund reimbursement where the programme overrides it.

Other conditionQA hold

Loan is not subject to remission.

Other conditionBeneficiaries under the 2026 Łódzkie retencjonuje wodę programmeQA hold

For this non-individual priority programme, beneficiary marking duties apply as set in the signed agreement. At minimum, website/social posts must identify task, PLN support amount and form, Fund logo and website link; website publication is due within 30 days after contract and before the first payment request. A physical information board is required only when all conditions hold: financing exceeds PLN 500,000, project is infrastructure/construction or nature/landscape protection, and duration is at least 3 months. Contract sets exact forms; lack of compliant marking may trigger contractual penalties.text

The guidelines exclude priority programmes for natural persons not conducting business; this call’s beneficiaries are local governments/State Forest units, so that exception does not apply. Specific contract terms control.

Other conditionPayment drawdown under the grant/loan agreementQA hold

Payment applications with supporting documents must reach WFO at least 20 working days before the contractual payment date; late submission may push payment, lead to suspension/non-acceptance of settlement, or contract termination.text

Payment is subject to a check of completion and agreement/HRF consistency; the priority-programme contract schedule governs the actual payment date.

Other conditionWFO review procedureQA hold

Formal evaluation is ordinarily within 15 working days; substantive evaluation within 60 working days after positive formal evaluation. Programme or call notice may set other deadlines. Corrections are generally due within up to 15 working days; lack of timely response is treated as withdrawal.text

These are general procedure deadlines, subject to programme/call-specific changes.

Other conditionApplication and performanceQA hold

Priority programme and call terms take precedence over general procedures; general financial rules then apply, followed by eligible-cost catalogue, settlement instruction and marking guidelines.text

The rules hierarchy is the WFO’s own order of precedence. For this call the programme explicitly fixes a 1.5% loan and disallows remission; generic ordinary loan rate/remission terms do not apply.

Other conditionLoan and grant application/contractQA hold

Security form is individually selected according to applicant legal form, support type, financial position and collateral value; WFO may evaluate proposed security during substantive review.text

No single collateral form is inferred as universally required for every beneficiary.

Call allocationWhole 2026–2027 programmeQA hold

PLN 150,000,000

Total planned contract budget for 2026–2027; the current call’s available pool is set separately by Board notice.

Funding intensity, maximumGrant component of total supportQA hold

Funding intensity, maximumCombined support per taskQA hold

100 %

Combined grant and loan may cover up to 100% of total task costs. A grant is conditioned on taking a loan and may not exceed 75% of possible financing.

Ineligible costGeneral WFO cost catalogue; only where it appliesQA hold

The general catalogue excludes applicant/beneficiary employee pay, coordinator pay, costs of preparing the application/settlement, property purchase or lease, permitting fees, and maintenance costs; it also says priority-programme projects are outside its default applicability unless programme terms incorporate it.text

Do not treat excluded generic cost categories as applying to this call if the specific priority programme governs differently.
