Incentive Conditions

  • Eligible actions are the creation, development and/or growth of SEIs with high impact potential, through the design and provision of innovative products, platforms or services with positive social impacts, which have the support and co-financing of social investors in an impact philanthropy logic, under the following conditions:
    • a) implementation of a Development Plan lasting at least six months;
    • b) 20 per cent of the operation’s net financing needs being contributed by social investors, whose contribution counts towards the private contribution in the operation’s calculation. Given that the aim of this type of operation is to boost the practice of social investment, the private contribution of the beneficiary organisations comes from prior funding from social investors;
    • c) Eligible actions must contribute to the materialisation of an EHII geared towards measurable results, and the evaluation of their impact must be incorporated into the operation.
  • Initiatives that only involve conferences or events, or are essentially based on training processes, are not eligible.

  • 2. Within the scope of this Notice, ‘eligible direct personnel costs’ are understood to be those arising from an employment contract or a contract for the provision of services concluded with a self-employed worker or with another entity, provided that it is explicitly stated in the respective contract and in the supporting documents for the provision that the service relates only to personnel or, if it includes other components, which part of the service relates to personnel.
  • In the case of direct costs for in-house staff, the basic salary and other benefits that are part of the remuneration, which are regular and permanent and reflected in the employer’s accounts, plus the compulsory charges for employees borne by the employer, are eligible.
  • 3. The remaining costs of the operation are the result of applying the flat rate of 40 per cent to the eligible calculation base, i.e. the direct costs of the eligible person. The costs to be supported under the flat rate are the relevant eligible costs for implementing the actions.
