Canary Islands Grants for Social Projects 2025

Overview

The Canary Islands government has announced provisional winners of grants aimed at social projects for seniors and volunteer organizations for 2025. After reviewing numerous submissions, authorities awarded funding to several entities, with some applications rejected due to financial discrepancies or errors in their funding plans.

This decision follows the official call published in May 2025, which set the rules and deadlines for applications. A significant number of proposals faced issues such as incorrect financial plans, prompting a temporary rejection with a five-day window for corrections. Entities with properly registered gender equality plans, aligned with national regulations, received priority.

Project Schedule and Conditions

• The awarded projects are scheduled between January and December 2025.
• There is the possibility of intermediate payments upon justification.
• Beneficiaries must accept the grants electronically within five days of notification.
• Those whose applications were partially approved are required to resubmit revised proposals.

Objectives and Impact

The funding aims to boost initiatives that improve quality of life for the elderly and promote active community participation.

This step marks an ongoing effort by regional authorities to support and regulate the nonprofit sector, ensuring transparency and proper use of public funds. For residents, this means:

• More local projects
• Increased community engagement efforts centered on social well-being.
