==== National level ====

**The Civil Initiatives Fund (CIF)** is a government grant programme for non-governmental organisations, under which projects aimed at increasing the involvement of citizens and non-governmental organisations in public life are subsidised. The grant can be obtained for a social project. The range of actions that can be implemented covers all areas of public benefit activity. As part of the Programme, four priorities have been specified:

  * Small initiatives – projects implemented under this Priority should positively influence the possibility of implementing grassroots initiatives.
  * Active society – projects implemented under this Priority should involve citizens in various forms, giving them the opportunity to actively act and combine activities with gaining knowledge in the sphere of civic activities.
  * Active citizens – projects implemented under this Priority should contribute to increasing citizens’ involvement in public life.
  * Strong non-governmental organisations – projects implemented under this Priority should in various forms contribute to the strengthening of the potential of civic organisations, in particular the support of voluntary sector entities by federation organisations.

**The Civil Society Organisations Development Programme for 2018-2030** is the first ever direct support programme for the development of Polish civil organisations. Subsidies under the programme will be allocated to the institutional development of the organisation and the implementation of their statutory objectives.

**The Solidarity Corps** is a long-term volunteering programme which aims to provide comprehensive support for the development of a long-term relationship between volunteers and institutions using their services. The programme aims to contribute to the development of civil society through the development and implementation of solutions that will facilitate and encourage the systematic and long-term involvement of citizens in volunteering.

**The Scout Movement Development Governmental Programme for 2018-2030** is a new form of support for scouting organisations, which are an important partner of the state in activities for the development and upbringing of young people. Scout activity is conducted according to the education system, referring to the achievements of scouting around the world and the Polish scout movement. This creates the possibility of comprehensive, modern and harmonious physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of children and youth.

==== Regional level ====

There are 16 regions/provinces (województwo) in Poland. Each province has a regional authority called Urząd Marszałkowski which provide support to NGOs which want to implment activities on the territory of that province.
For more information go to the website of the Urząd Marszałkowski in your province.

==== Local level ====

Most Polish municipalities offer grants to NGOs and, due to a current legislation, the selection process is transparent. Grants offered by the municipalities are, in most cases, significantly lower than those given on a regional or national level, but it is also easier to work with a local authority than with the ministry or other nationwide institutions. There are several ways a municipality can support a youth work:
  * Open call for proposals (Otwarty konkurs) - the most common way of supporting initiatives of NGOs.
  * Small grant (Mały grant) - If the activity can be completed within 90 days and a budget doesn't exceed 10 000 PLN, an NGO can apply for the support directly to a local authority.
  * Participatory budgeting (budżet obywatelski/partycypacyjny) - NGOs can make a proposal within the participatory bugdeting process and, if it is voted by the majority of the population, local authority will have to implement it.

In order to get detailed information about the way your local authority supports NGOs, go to the city hall or check its website.
