LIFE Operating Grants
LIFE Operating Grants · LIFE-FPA-OG · Can apply alone
What this call funds
This call provides annual operating funding to non-profit organisations already active in EU environmental and climate policy, covering their general running costs rather than a specific project. It's meant to help civil society groups keep participating in EU policy dialogue and support the implementation of environmental and climate laws, including the clean energy transition. To get this funding, organisations must already have (or simultaneously apply for) a multi-year Framework Partnership Agreement with the LIFE Programme.
