What this call funds
This call sets up long-term partnership agreements (not direct project funding) with non-profit organisations that work on environment and climate issues, including clean energy transition. Being accepted gives an organisation the right to later apply for annual operating grants covering staff and running costs, helping them engage in EU policy dialogue and support enforcement of environmental and climate law. Applicants must also apply to the linked annual grant call to actually receive funding for 2026.
