Fundación MAPFRE and the European Social Fund Plus

An opportunity for our rural areas

An opportunity to invest in the quality of life of people in rural areas

Home > European Social Fund Plus

In 2023, Fundación MAPFRE was selected as an Intermediate Body within the framework of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) Program for Social Inclusion, Child Guarantee, and the Fight against Poverty.

That same year, the first edition of the  Call for +Rural Grants was launched. These grants are aimed at entities that strive to promote the well-being and social progress of rural areas in Spain.

Now, there is a new opportunity to boost initiatives that benefit people living in rural areas and keep these communities alive: Fundación MAPFRE is launching the 2025 Call for +Rural Grants for social entities.

All the projects are fully co-financed by the ESF+ and Fundación MAPFRE.

    Investing in people

    The European Social Fund (ESF) is the European Commission’s main financial instrument for promoting employment in Member States and fostering greater economic and social cohesion.
