What this programme is

The Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme funds civil-society work: equality and non-discrimination, the rights of the child, protection from violence, Union values and citizens' engagement. Grants are small compared with the research programmes, and the applicants are typically NGOs, municipalities and networks rather than companies.

6 calls use lump-sum funding, where you are paid for delivering work packages rather than for reporting costs. The next cut-off is 15 Sept 2026.

When it closes

2 months carry a cut-off. Each links to every call closing that month, across all programmes.

About Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values

Who can apply to Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values calls?
It is set per call, not per programme. 0% of these calls accept a single applicant; 0 require a consortium, and 8 do not say. Where the conditions state the requirement we quote the sentence they state it in; where they do not, we infer it from the type of action and mark it as inferred, and an inferred value never appears without that mark.
What does the budget figure mean?
It is the sum of what the funder published per call, in the funder's own currency, converted once at the European Central Bank rates this build holds. Calls that publish no budget contribute nothing rather than an estimate, so the total is a floor, not a guess.
How often does this page change?
The corpus is re-synced nightly and the site is rebuilt with it. Cut-offs and countdowns are recomputed at build time, so a call that closed since the last sync leaves this page rather than sitting here with a stale date.
Can I see only the calls I could win?
Yes, the fit check reads every call on this page against your organisation on the gates that decide admissibility, and it runs in your browser with no account. Calls that block you are shown with the condition that blocks them, because sometimes it is one you can change.
