Royal Decree 816/2026 regulates the direct award of grants to third-sector entities and other organizations for child and adolescent protection and the promotion of youth participation. This regulation is based on the need to support public interest activities and ensure the financial stability of key entities such as the Spanish Youth Council. The regulation allows for the direct award procedure as supported by the General Subsidies Law (art. 22.2.c of Law 38/2003).
For third-sector organisations and youth bodies, the regulation facilitates access to public funds without the need for competitive bidding in specific cases of public interest. The Spanish Youth Council obtains a stable funding framework to ensure its operation as an interlocutor with the Administration. Local authorities and municipal associations are also involved in guaranteeing the rights of children and young people.
