Calpe Town Council has announced the grants for the promotion of sport 2023-2024, for which an amount of 235,000 euros has been earmarked, with rules that aim to promote, among other aspects, sports associations.
This aid, aimed at local sports organisations, has two lines: line 1 with aid for participation in official sports competitions and the promotion of local grassroots sport, and line 2 with aid for the organisation of sporting events.
One of the objectives of these bases is to promote the associationism and therefore to obtain 100% of a grant of more than 12,000 euros, the sports entity will be required to prove that it has a minimum of 100 members, otherwise the grant will be reduced to 75%. For grants of up to 12,000 euros, a minimum of 50 members will be required; if this figure is lower, the grant will be 75%.
Other assessment criteria are the number of sportspeople with an official federation licence or participants in the Jocs Esportius de la Comunidad Valenciana, the number of categories of the club, the type of competition or the qualifications of the coaches and medical-health staff, as well as the ownership of the sports facilities.
On the other hand, eligible expenses will include travel expenses for attending national competitions or those derived from the competition itself, such as refereeing, sports equipment, monitors' expenses, etc. All expenses derived from the organisation of the sporting event that is the object of the subsidy will also be considered eligible expenses. The promotion of local sports will also be considered.
The grants are aimed at sports organisations with registered offices in Calpe, which will be able to submit their applications from tomorrow 24th July until 7th August via the electronic office.
