Canary Islands Government Grants Publication

Overview

The Canary Islands government has published a list of grants awarded directly by the Department of Social Wellbeing, Equality, Youth, Childhood, and Families during the last quarter of 2025. These grants:

• are given without open competition due to the specific nature of the programs
• are now officially listed in the Official Bulletin of Canarias.

Purpose and Legal Context

This move aligns with transparency laws requiring public authorities to disclose details of subsidies, including:

• amount
• purpose
• beneficiaries.

The bulletin clarifies that in some cases, beneficiaries' identities are not revealed if doing so could harm personal or family privacy, adhering to privacy protections laid out in national legislation.

Privacy Considerations

• The effort aims to balance transparency with individual privacy.
• It ensures residents can access information about public aid without compromising personal rights.

Transparency and Accountability

• The publication ensures accountability and provides insight into how public funds are allocated.
• It emphasizes the Canary Islands’ commitment to transparency, even when grants are awarded directly.

This measure reassures residents that aid distribution remains open and justified, even outside traditional public competition processes.
