A waiver of 27,533.56 euros

During the express acceptance period, the Romis Calis Camelan Naquerar Association (NIF G06265953) submitted on October 6, 2026, its waiver of the proposed grant, amounting to 27,533.56 euros, for the project “PHENJALIPEN, Sisterhood among cousins.” The waiver releases those funds, although the resolution does not provide for their reallocation to the waiting list of entities that remained without aid due to budget exhaustion.

Each entity can receive a maximum of 30,000 euros, equivalent to 33% of the total credit of the call. The projects are framed within axes 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the State Pact against Gender Violence approved in December 2017 and must be executed between January 1 and December 31, 2026.

Advance payment and justification

Payment will be made in a single advance payment for 100% of the amount, without the need for a guarantee, subject to accreditation of being up to date with state and regional Treasury and Social Security obligations. Beneficiaries must communicate the start of activities within ten days and present the justification account within a maximum period of three months from the completion of the project.

Entities are obliged to disseminate that the project is financed with credits from the Ministry of Equality within the framework of the State Pact, using the official logo and identification plaque. The resolution ends the administrative route and allows for a motion for reconsideration within one month or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months before the High Court of Justice of Extremadura.

The publication closes the distribution of grants that support the work of women’s associations and federations in the prevention of sexist violence in rural, digital, and youth environments, and leaves five projects without funding due to administrative formal defects and one due to express waiver.
