Project calls 2023: equal opportunities

The call is applicable to projects that demonstrate an innovative character.

Also, consider the following conditions:

• the activities of the project are clearly defined;
• the activities do not coincide with the structural functioning of the association;
• the projects have a specific and limited duration.

This category aims to support:

1. Recurring projects: activities intended to be repeated annually or periodically and have already been tested (at least once), such as:
   • annual awareness campaigns
   • recurring awareness actions
   • annual prides and festivals
   • awareness/information workshops
2. Permanent projects: activities that have been tested (for at least one year) and have a permanent character, such as:
   • neighbourhood and advisory services to those experiencing discrimination
   • recurring publications (magazines, newsletters, etc.)

Subsidies, with a maximum duration of 3 years (with the possibility of a maximum of 2 extensions for 1 year each), will be granted, provided that the budgets remain available.

The minimum support for this category is set at a minimum of €7,000.

The subsidies within this category:

• are intended for associations with a project on equal opportunities in the Brussels-Capital Region,
• within the framework of regional competences, 
• regardless of the theme, including: racism and diversity, gender equality, origin and social situation, including single parenthood, disability, gender-related violence, and LGBTQIA+. 
• will be granted for a maximum period of 1 year.

Equal.brussels supports and promotes projects carried out in partnership with various stakeholders, particularly in the context of developing an intersectional perspective and mutual enrichment through the specialization of different partners.
