New Grants 2025 for Third Sector Organisations

At a time when the third sector is facing new social, economic, and technological challenges, grants and project calls are essential tools to ensure the sustainability and innovation of social entities. Between July and September 2025, several foundations and institutions have launched calls specifically aimed at non-profit organisations, cooperatives, and social collectives, with the goal of promoting inclusion, digital transformation, sustainability, and community participation.

Below is an updated compilation of the main open calls, with a special focus on digital transformation and social impact projects.

ONCE Foundation – Grants for the Inclusion of People with Disabilities
