As many of you already know, this year in Open Value Foundation we have launched the IMPULSA calls for applications, a programme designed to support and showcase initiatives that generate social impact in Spain, with the aim of providing a decisive boost by offering both funding How Strategic accompaniment.
In 2025 we have celebrated two editions:
- IMPULSA_Inclusion, aimed at organisations working towards the social and labour inclusion of vulnerable individuals.
- IMPULSA_Territory, developed in collaboration with NESI Forum, focused on projects that invigorate rural areas, promote territorial redistribution, and strengthen community ties.
Each call offers between €10,000 and €50,000 of funding, together with Specialised mentoring, technical advice, and access to a network of allies that share the same vision: to drive innovative and sustainable solutions with real impact.
Today we are excited to introduce you to the finalists of these first two editions, which are passed on to final stage which will be held on the next 6th October at our Impulsa_Day.
