Purpose and amount of the grants

Activities or projects that comply with the order and the call resolution and are executed between October 15, 2026, and April 15, 2027, will be eligible for subsidies. Funding is granted linearly to the 174 municipalities, with an amount of 4,000 euros per entity based on the available credit.

• The amount guarantees all municipalities the minimum funding to execute at least one or two work-life balance and care projects.
• The projects are oriented toward the Christmas and Easter school holiday periods.
• The resolution incorporates the maximum amount corresponding to each municipality.

Beneficiaries and submission of applications

Municipalities and associations of municipalities that do not fall under the prohibitions of Article 13 of Decree 14/2006, of February 16, which regulates the legal regime of subsidies in the public sector of La Rioja, may be beneficiaries. The deadline for submitting applications will be ten business days starting from the day following the publication of the extract in the gazette.

• Applications are submitted electronically through the Government of La Rioja portal, completing Annex I.
• Along with the application, the documentation from Article 8.3 of the regulatory order must be provided, including Annexes II, III, and IV.
• If an association of municipalities submits the application, the municipalities that comprise it may not submit it individually.

Granting and justification

The grant will be awarded on a non-competitive basis through distribution, in accordance with Article 7 of the order.
