Education calls for 100,000 euros in grants for Parent-Teacher Associations (AMPAs) for the 2026/27 academic year

The Regional Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of the Junta de Extremadura has announced grants for a maximum amount of 100,000 euros to finance projects by parents’ and mothers’ associations (AMPAs) of centers supported by public funds during the 2026/2027 school year. The call is formalized through the Resolution of November 3, 2026, of the General Directorate of Innovation and Educational Inclusion, published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura (DOE) number 219, Friday, November 13, 2026, with official reference 2026062825. The deadline for submitting applications is ten business days starting from the day following the publication.

Regulatory Framework and Purpose

The grants are governed by Decree 187/2012, of September 14, which approved the regulatory bases of this program (DOE number 183, of September 20), and by Law 6/2011, of March 23, on Grants of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, with supplementary application of the General Grants Law 38/2003, of November 17.

The call is based on Article 54 of Law 4/2011, of March 7, on Education of Extremadura, which recognizes the right of families to form associations as an instrument of participation in the life of the centers, and on Article 119.4 of Organic Law 3/2020, of December 29.

The stated objective is to strengthen the active presence of families in the centers and to promote coherence and continuity between the educational experiences developed in different contexts.

Two Modalities and Maximum Amounts

The resolution establishes two ways of participation, and each association may only apply for one grant by choosing one of them:

• Individual projects: carried out by a single association, with a maximum of 700 euros.
• Joint projects: coordinated by several associations from the same town or area, with an amount resulting from multiplying the number of entities involved by 500 euros, provided that the final grant cannot be equal to or greater than 3,000 euros.

Beneficiaries may be AMPAs of non-university education centers supported by public funds, legally constituted and registered in the General Registry of Associations of Extremadura and in the Registry of Parents’ and Mothers’ Associations of the regional ministry. In joint projects, the associations must designate a coordinating entity whose president acts as the sole representative.

Evaluation Criteria and Instructing Body

Projects will be evaluated through competitive bidding with a minimum of four points to qualify for the grant. The scale distributes up to ten points:

• Project viability: 3 points, based on the relationship between objectives, contents, actions, and timing.
• Suitability for the purposes of the call: 3 points, for providing information to families about school reality, values training, and parents’ schools.
• Other merits: 4 points, distributed among not having received aid in the previous call, being linked to a Priority Educational Care Center, belonging to the Innovation and Education for Sustainable Development Networks, and accrediting the involvement of other bodies through Annex VII.

The instruction corresponds to the Director General for Innovation and Educational Inclusion, Carmen Gómez Labrador, and the assessment to a commission chaired by herself and composed of two representatives from each provincial delegation, one representative from the Regional Extremaduran Federation of Parents’ Associations of Public Centers, another from the Catholic Confederation of Parents’ Associations of Extremadura, and three from the Inclusion and Diversity Care Service.

Deadline, execution, and justification

Applications shall be submitted preferably through the Electronic Registry of the Junta de Extremadura, accompanied by Annexes I (A) and I (B), the certification of representation (Annex II), the project according to the outline of Annex III, the declaration of compatibility (Annex IV) and, where applicable, the commitment of participation (Annex VII). The count of ten business days places the closing of the deadline on November 27, 2026.

Current expenses—office supplies, food products, and postage costs—and external collaborations, which cannot exceed 70% of the granted amount, are eligible for subsidies; travel, per diems, and inventoriable assets are excluded. The activity must be executed before May 30, 2027, and justified before June 30, 2027, with a report and certification of expenses. Payment is made in advance and without guarantees, and the maximum period for resolution is three months.

Impact for families

The call arrives with the school year already underway and a credit frozen at 100,000 euros, the same ceiling as in previous years, which forces the pro-rating of aid if the sum of the projects that exceed the minimum score exceeds that amount. For Extremaduran AMPAs, the real margin is narrow: 700 euros per individual project and a maximum of 3,000 for joint projects, with ten business days to prepare the documentation and the complete project. The resolution also appears in the extract published in the same DOE with reference 2026062909 and in the National Subsidies Database, with identification BDNS 941027.
