Managed by: Barcelona City Council
The purpose of this call for applications is to award grants to promote the pursuit of artistic, cultural, scientific, and technological activities by children and young people from low-income families in such a way as to ensure that the family's economic situation does not pose an impediment or excessive financial burden that could prevent them from engaging in these activities.
– Age: From 6 to 17 years of age. Grants are aimed at children and young people born between 2008 and 2019.
Exception: In the case of young people with intellectual disabilities, the threshold is extended to the age of 19 and includes those born in 2006 and 2007.
– Registration in the municipal register: Yes. The members of the family unit must be registered in the city of Barcelona.
Exception: Children with special educational needs (NEE) who are registered outside Barcelona but enrolled in a school in the city of Barcelona may also apply for the grant.
– Required documentation: DNI (Spanish national identity document), TIE (identity number for foreign nationals), passport.
– Income:
These grants are awarded based on the disposable personal income per family member, which is calculated by dividing the declared annual income of the entire family unit by the total number of members.
Disposable personal income per family member cannot exceed €10,000. Therefore, the income of the family unit must not exceed the following amounts:
|
Members of the family unit |
Maximum annual income of the family unit |
|---|---|
| 2 | €20.000 |
| 3 | €30.000 |
| 4 | €40.000 |
| 5 | €50.000 |
| Per additional member | €+10.000 |
In the following cases, an additional €10,000 will be added to the family unit's annual income threshold:
- When a member of the family unit has a disability officially recognised by the Generalitat de Catalunya, with a minimum degree of disability of 33%.
- When the family status is officially recognised by the Generalitat de Catalunya as a single-parent family.

| 3 | €40.000 |
| 4 | €50.000 |
| 5 | €60.000 |
| Per additional member | €+10.000 |
The declared annual income of the entire family unit will be obtained by adding together the annual income of each member of the beneficiary's family unit for 2024, specifically using the General Taxable Base box (0500) of the 2024 personal income tax return (IRPF); if no tax return is filed, based on the income responsibly declared in the subsidy application.
