The Generalitat grants 1.2 million in aid to Valencian citizen associations

The General Directorate of Participation of the Generalitat Valenciana has granted 1,204,751.04 euros in subsidies to citizen entities of the Comunitat Valenciana for the strengthening of citizen participation in the field of associationism during 2026. The resolution, signed on November 5, 2026, by the director general, José Salvador Tárrega Cervera, is published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana) number 10489, dated November 9, 2026, in section III of administrative acts (reference DOGV-C-2026-35002). The text grants the aid, dismisses four appeals, requires the reformulation of one project, and records the excluded entities and those who withdrew.

Regulatory framework and origin of the call

The aid is based on Order 1/2026, of May 8, of the then Department of Justice, Transparency and Participation, which establishes the joint regulatory bases for subsidies to promote citizen participation (DOGV 10360, 05.12.2026). The specific call for this financial year was approved by the Resolution of June 23, 2026 (DOGV 10396, 07.02.2026), and the members of the evaluation commission were appointed by resolution of the director general of Participation on August 7, 2026.

The funding comes from Law 4/2026, of July 22, on the budgets of the Generalitat for 2026, charged to the budget application G01070602.112H00 (chapter IV, subsidy line S0417). The procedure was processed with a provisional resolution proposal from the sub-directorate general of Citizen Participation dated October 6, 2026, notified by appearance on the Transparency and Participation website, and with the evaluation report of the evaluation commission dated October 19, 2026.

Two modalities and distribution of credit

The resolution distributes the credit into two modalities, with maximum caps per project:

• Modality 1: confederations and federations of associations, regardless of their territorial scope, and foundations and associations of regional scope, up to 30,000 euros per project.
• Modality 2: foundations and associations of a scope smaller than regional, up to 8,000 euros per project.
• Distribution of credit: 75% for regional entities and federations and 25% for entities of a scope smaller than regional, with the possibility of transferring the surplus from one modality to the other.

According to the text, there was sufficient credit to meet all admitted requests of a scope lower than the regional level, therefore those entities were not evaluated individually and appear in Annex I.I; the remainder was applied to modality 1, whose requests were ordered by decreasing score until the allocation was exhausted, with a minimum of 50 points. The beneficiaries of this second route are listed in Annex I.II. Entities that exceeded 50 points but did not obtain aid due to lack of funds appear in Annex II.

Reformulations, withdrawals, and exclusions

The fourth resolution requires Asociación Medioambiental Laalma Acción Climática (file TPASOC/2026/0170, NIF G19839521) to reformulate its project within ten days of publication in the DOGV to adjust the requested grant to 13,080.34 euros, an amount that will be final due to the lack of available credit.

Furthermore, the voluntary withdrawal of the Fundación Asunción Robles Torrecilla de la Comunitat Valenciana (NIF G40531436, file TPASOC/2026/0211) is accepted, and the allegations of files TPASOC/2026/0110, TPASOC/2026/0168, TPASOC/2026/0171, and TPASOC/2026/0210 are dismissed, in accordance with the evaluation commission’s report of October 19. Annex III lists the requests excluded for failing to meet admission requirements, and Annex IV lists those that withdrew or did not comply with the request for correction.

Justification of expenditure and subsequent control

Payment will be made by transfer after the justification of expenditure, although entities that requested it will receive a prior disbursement of 30% of the granted amount. Beneficiaries must submit a simplified justification account in accordance with Article 75 of Royal Decree 887/2006, with reimbursement and late interest in the cases provided for in the general regulations on grants.

The resolution sets the maximum justification deadline as October 31, 2026, although on that same day the DOGV publishes a second extension—Resolution of November 6, 2026 (DOGV-C-2026-35163)—which moves the limit to November 15, 2026, following a first extension until November 10 agreed upon on October 21. Additionally, the effective execution of the activity will be verified through administrative control over a random sample of 10% of the granted projects.

The resolution ends the administrative route: an optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of the Comunitat Valenciana within two months, counting from the day following publication.

The allocation consolidates the funding of an associative fabric that is highly dependent on these grants, ranging from mental health, disability, or student federations to small neighborhood and local associations, and clarifies the real scope of action for the entities: with the credit exhausted, applicants who exceeded the minimum score are placed on a waiting list, and only a withdrawal within a one-month period could reopen the door to funding their project.
