Expenses incurred between January 1 and December 31, 2026, which must be paid before the latter date, will be eligible for subsidies. Cash payments, as well as expenses for excursions and cultural trips outside the locality, are not permitted, except for essential travel included in the budget.

Projects will be evaluated based on a maximum of 100 points and will need at least 50 to receive aid; the total amount will be distributed proportionally among those who reach this minimum score. The criteria are:

• Continuity of the entity in the municipality (up to 10 points).
• Impact of the activity or project (up to 10 points).
• Projection of the action (up to 10 points).
• Technical, human, and material resources (up to 10 points).

The evaluation is carried out by a collegiate body composed of a representative of the Presidency of the Corporation, the delegated Councilor, the Secretary of the Corporation, the Employment and Local Development Agent, and a representative of the Comptroller’s Office. The resolution is the responsibility of the Presidency of the City Council, which must issue it within a maximum period of three months from the end of the application period; if this period passes without express notification, it will be understood as rejected by administrative silence.

Failure to comply with the justification obligations will lead to the initiation of the procedure to recover the amount received or not justified.

The call for applications represents a direct financing route for the associative movement of Oliva de la Frontera, which may cover up to the total cost of its projects of social, cultural, sporting, or environmental interest. The proportional distribution and the minimum threshold of 50 points condition access to the available credit, therefore the quality of the report and the trajectory of each entity will be decisive in obtaining aid before the close of the fiscal year.
