Additional grant awards ceremony 2026

The Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector (MCVS), within the Ministry for Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector, has distributed €498,000 in additional funds through the Voluntary Organisations Project Scheme (VOPS) and the Small Initiatives Support Scheme (SIS) for the year 2026. These will result in 45 additional community projects, which were selected through a competitive process open to eligible voluntary organisations (VOs) which are registered and compliant with the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations.

These additional funds are being distributed after around one million euros had already been allocated earlier this year to VOs to implement 87 new projects. This means that there will be a total of 132 new projects this year. Since the establishment of these schemes, more than 970 projects have been implemented with total funding of €10.2 million. Lists of all VOs and projects receiving funds from MCVS schemes can be found at vofunding.org.mt.
