City councils will have a period of one month from the day following the publication of the extract in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid to submit the application and the required documentation, which shall be done electronically through the General Electronic Registry of the Community of Madrid.

The payment of the granted subsidy will be made once the granting agreement has been issued, as an advance payment, without the need to require the presentation of any guarantee, in accordance with article 14 of Order 2823/2026 and article 10 of Law 2/1995, of March 8.

Impact for Municipalities

This call for applications provides a direct boost to local civil protection by allowing Madrid’s municipalities to renew or expand their fleet of emergency vehicles without bearing the full cost of the investment alone. Funding of up to 31,250 euros per vehicle ensures that volunteer groups have the appropriate means to respond more quickly and effectively to emergencies within their territories.
