  • The maximum amount that can be requested per village is € 5715.
  • The funds must be spent in 2024, so between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025.
  • Applicant parties who also receive other subsidies from the municipalities, for example from the Strengthening Social Base subsidy scheme, must take into account that there should be no duplication. This means that a subsidy cannot be applied for twice for the same activity.
