Associations encouraged to request subsidies for cultural celebrations and activities

The Formentera Department of Culture reports it is currently accepting applications for funding from non-profit groups that promote culture, community involvement and traditional festivities. €32,000 has been unlocked for the initiative.

Culture and festivities chief Susana Labrador gave special thanks to the groups “doing all they can to put together cultural programming for patron saint celebrations” and offered encouragement to those whose organising efforts have been hamstrung by “ongoing restrictions and other difficulties”.

Review committee
A special committee will be responsible for awarding funding based on a review of applications and supporting documentation. Funding recipients must file taxes and be physically headquartered on the island, not to mention figure on local and regional governments’ registries of civic organisations. Cash disbursements cover the period from November 2019 and October 2020 and can be retroactive.

Applications must be submitted to the Citizen Information Office (OAC) either by calling 971.32.10.87 and requesting an in-person appointment or on the Consell’s online platform, OVAC, by 31 October.
