The call was launched on April 20, 2026, and its guidelines were approved by the Local Government Board on March 13, 2026.

The approval of these grants is based on the agreement of the Local Government Board of May 16, 2025, which delegated to each departmental council the granting of subsidies for amounts equal to or less than 100,000.00 euros, and on the mayoral decree on the delegation of powers of June 22, 2023.

Substitutes, rejected and non-admitted projects

In first place is Euskar Abentura Elkartea (G95870523) with «Euskarabentura Espedizioa 2026», 50 points, which would receive an additional 1,510.48 euros, the difference between the 2,000 euros that would correspond to them and the 489.52 euros already granted.

Additionally, the “ZabalGaztea” project by Zabalgana Batuz Auzo Elkartea (G01452101) is not admitted, as it does not meet the requirement of being executed entirely in 2026, with 2,730.00 euros requested.

Notification, appeals, and publicity

The resolution concludes the administrative process and is notified to the interested entities through its publication in the BOTHA. A contentious-administrative appeal may be filed against it before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Vitoria-Gasteiz within two months from the day following the notification or publication.

Prior to this, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed before the body that issued the act, within a period of one month. Likewise, the information will be published in the national subsidies database, in accordance with Article 20 of Law 38/2003.

The distribution consolidates municipal support for the city’s youth associative fabric: fifteen different entities receive funding for activities related to participation, volunteering, culture, health, and social cohesion, with a ceiling of 3,000 euros per project and a minimum score of 50 points as the access threshold.
