Albal calls for Amancio Ortega Foundation grants for damaged communities

The Albal City Council has announced the direct award of the remaining funds donated by the Amancio Ortega Foundation for homeowners’ associations with damages suffered on 10/29/2024. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia (BOP) number 185, dated September 25, 2026, within section I (Municipalities), with the official reference 2026/11623 and the identifier BDNS 929684.

A call for direct award

The announcement publicizes the municipal call and specifies the chosen mechanism: the direct award of the remaining donated funds. The recipients are the homeowners’ associations in the municipality that recorded damages on October 29, 2024, the reference date established by the official text itself.

The essential data contained in the announcement are as follows:

• Calling body: Albal City Council.
• Procedure: direct award of the remaining donated funds.
• Recipients: homeowners’ associations with damages suffered on 10/29/2024.
• Source of funding: donation from the Amancio Ortega Foundation.
• Official reference of the announcement: 2026/11623.
• National Grants Database identifier: BDNS 929684.
• Publication: BOP no. 185, September 25, 2026, section I (Municipalities), page 2.

The framework: the damages of October 29, 2024

The date mentioned in the announcement, October 29, 2024, is that of the flood that affected a large part of the province of Valencia and caused damage to homes, ground floors, and common elements of numerous buildings. The Albal call focuses on homeowners’ associations—that is, on the buildings and their common elements—and not on homes considered individually.

The funding comes from funds donated by the Amancio Ortega Foundation, the remainder of which is now distributed through this municipal call. The announcement published in the BOP is limited to publicizing the call and identifying its origin and destination, without the text of the gazette detailing amounts or deadlines.

More municipal calls in the same gazette

The same issue of the BOP includes a second call from the Albal City Council, 2026/11624, intended for Parent-Teacher Associations (AMPA) for the 2024/2025 academic year and with identifier BDNS 929720. Both appear under the heading of the Albal council in the Municipalities section.

Alongside them, the gazette publishes other lines of local and supra-municipal subsidies:

• Picassent City Council: financial aid for people with celiac disease, 2026 fiscal year (2026/11576 and 2026/11622, BDNS 929668).
• La Pobla de Vallbona City Council: “Esport Solidari” sports schools 2026-2027 (2026/11626, BDNS 929865) and textbooks and school supplies 2026-2027 (2026/11627, BDNS 929832).
• Sot de Chera City Council: financial aid for childcare 2026 (2026/11630, BDNS 929975).
• Zonal V5 Waste Management Consortium: environmental awareness and waste prevention (2026/11625, BDNS 929829) and composting island (2026/11628, BDNS 929905).

What this means for residents

The call for applications comes nearly two years after the flood and opens a specific channel for buildings in Albal that still have damage to their common elements. For the affected homeowners’ associations, the announcement published on September 25, 2026, in the BOP is the official reference that activates the distribution of the remaining funds donated by the Amancio Ortega Foundation, money that goes directly to the building scale and not to individual homes.
