Fundación MAPFRE and the European Social Fund Plus
An opportunity for our rural areas
In 2023, Fundación MAPFRE was selected as an Intermediate Body for the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) Programme for Social Inclusion, the Child Guarantee and Combating Poverty.
That same year, the First Call for +Rural Grants was launched. This aid is aimed at organisations working to promote the well-being and social progress of rural Spain through two main lines of action:
- Job creation as a driver of personal and professional development, and promoting access to the workforce and the social and workplace inclusion of the most vulnerable groups. In short, encouraging people to put down roots and thereby stabilising the population.
- Improved access to quality, sustainable and affordable services; including those that promote social protection systems, the accessibility and improvement of healthcare systems, and long-term care; with a special focus on the elderly and people with disabilities, among other disadvantaged groups.
All these projects are fully co-financed by the ESF+ and Fundación MAPFRE.
REMEMBER TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEXT CALL FOR +RURAL GRANTS
We are launching the 1st Fundación MAPFRE Call for + Rural Grants within the framework of the ESF+, Europe’s main instrument for investing in people, with the aim of boosting employment, social, education and training policies in the Member States.
Through Fundación MAPFRE’s 1st Call for + Rural Grants within the framework of the ESF+, we are helping third sector entities to finance operations to be carried out in rural areas and intended to benefit one of these two areas: workplace inclusion or long-term care.
We prevent any fraudulent activity in the operations funded by the European Social Fund Plus by facilitating its detection and preventing it from occurring, by developing tools that allow it to be reported.
We also have a series of procedures and tools available to anyone who has knowledge of facts that may constitute an irregularity, so that they can report these and prevent them from occurring.
In this section, you will find all the information on the events and activities organized by Fundación MAPFRE in this area to create spaces for the exchange of ideas among the different players involved in the recovery of the rural environment.
