The insular administration has distributed the total of the global amount marked in the call: 440.000 euros

Line 1, aimed at the maintenance and support of sports entities – sports clubs and the maintenance and support of sports entities – federations, with a budget of 185,000 euros, and line 2, aimed at travel and accommodation to participate in competitions outside Menorca, with 130,000 euros, has been the most popular lines with 96 and 267 applications respectively. Meanwhile, line 3 has received 20 applications, line 4 has received 45, line 5 has received 18, line 6 only 9 and line 7 a total of 17.

In this way, one of the points of the call considered that if a line does not exhaust the budget appropriation, the remaining amount will be allocated to line 2 and then to line 1A. Therefore, given the applications received, the distribution of the overall amount of the call for proposals of 440,000 euros has been modified.
