The de minimis scheme for NGO digitization
This scheme is intended for NGOs with economic activity and aims at digital transformation through several measures:
Investments in digital infrastructure, including cloud and operational digital services, as well as the development of specific software applications, such as solutions for financial management, human resource management, volunteer management and donor retention.
Improving the digital skills of staff and volunteers to provide remote services.
Creation of CRM platforms and solutions for beneficiary management.
Purchase of hardware equipment.
The scheme will be applicable in all development regions in Romania and has a budget of 5.3 million euros, for the entire period 2024-2026.
Type of support measure | Total budget (euro) | The year 2024 | The year 2025 | The year 2026 |
De minimis aid | 5,300,000 | 3,000,000 | 1,300,000 | 1,000,000 |
Total (euro) | 5,300,000 | 3,000,000 | 1,300,000 | 1,000,000 |
It is estimated that a maximum of 180 NGO digitization projects will benefit. A much too small number for the needs of these totally underfunded organizations! Why ? It's an enigma!
A final guide for this call, not yet published, will include details for both categories of eligible NGOs: those with economic activity, which will benefit from a budget of 4.5 million euros from the PNRR, and those without economic activity, which they will also have a budget of 4.5 million euros allocated from the PNRR.
