Canary Islands Government Releases Details of Non-Open Call Subsidies

Overview

The Canary Islands' government has released details of subsidies granted without open calls during the second quarter of 2026, fulfilling transparency obligations under national law.

According to legal requirements, the regional administration must publish information about all aid and subsidies, including:

• amounts
• beneficiaries
• objectives

This particular report lists those subsidies awarded without a public tender, explaining the reasons behind skipping a competitive process.

Purpose of Transparency

This move aims to foster transparency, helping residents understand how public funds are allocated and why certain grants are awarded directly.

The list, published in the official bulletin, includes details on:

• recipients
• the purpose of each subsidy, such as supporting cultural or scientific projects.

Such transparency is vital in ensuring public trust, especially when funds are allocated without competition.
