Non-profit organisations such as associations, foundations or cooperatives that carry out the subsidised activity may be beneficiaries of the mobility grant, provided that the purpose of the grant is to publicise, encourage, disseminate and promote the intangible cultural heritage of the Balearic Islands or its bearers and their work, outside their island of residence.
