Today, the Fund has launched a Public Call for Proposals for associations for co-financing environmental protection and energy efficiency projects worth 1 million euros, with the maximum amount per project totalling 20,000 euros, or 80% of eligible costs.

 

The Public Call for Proposals is aimed at civil society organisations and associations that are entered in the Register of associations and have been active for no less than one year in the Republic of Croatia, and that are focused on work in one of the following areas: ecology, environmental and nature protection, protection of the sea and marine environment, energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, electromobility, energy poverty, climate change, sustainable development and speleology.  


Environmental protection and energy efficiency are areas that are of the utmost importance nowadays and need to be instilled into our citizens on a regular basis. This is where associations play a significant role related to shaping people's attitudes and behaviour, as well as taking care of specific topics that do not always receive sufficient public attention.

 

Projects for which co-financing of project activities is possible in two areas – environmental protection and energy efficiency, include: waste management and reuse activities, organisation of eco-drives cleaning the seabed and speleological objects, activities to raise awareness of resilience and adaptation to climate change and biodiversity conservation, provision of advisory services to the public on its role in environmental protection, promoting the principles of ecological management and the importance of eco-labels, and implementation of activities: raising awareness of eco-mobility, informing about energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sources, and measures to combat energy poverty.    

 

An association can apply to the Call for Proposals independently or in partnership, and the bid for the tender is submitted by the association that is the project leader. Each association, as the project leader, can apply and contract a maximum of two projects under this Call for Proposals.

 

The deadline for applying to the Call for Proposals is 30 August 30 2025.

 

The goal of encouraging these projects is to increase the knowledge of our citizens about the importance and methods of environmental protection and energy efficiency. At the same time, it is vital to actively involve citizens in local environmental protection and energy efficiency projects, and to increase awareness of biodiversity and the importance of preserving plant and animal species, in which Croatia is abundant.
