The call for proposals in the 2nd round of the intervention competition under the Active Citizens Fund - Regional Programme began on November 22, 2022. Applications can be submitted until May 22, 2023, 12:00 p.m.
Within the competition for intervention projects, it is planned to co-finance activities that constitute a quick response to crisis situations identified by the Applicants, i.e. a sudden change in the social situation or intensifying problems concerning a specific group of recipients. The intervention is to respond to specific, urgent problems and include solutions that can be implemented and bring tangible results within 3 to 8 months.
These projects must also contribute to the development of civil society in Poland and be part of one of the three thematic areas of support under the Programme, i.e.:
- Protection of human rights (including gender equality issues),
- Acting for social diversity and preventing exclusion,
- Building a democratic culture and civic involvement at the local level (including issues related to environmental protection).
