Conditions
Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.
- Applicant type
- Organizations eligible as non-governmental organizations under the PFRON Article 36 task-commissioning competition; detailed legal-form eligibility follows the competition rules.
- Eligible project scope
- Six competition directions: labour-market entry; independence; activity in life; access to information; quality of functioning of the person’s environment; and positive social attitudes/knowledge about disability.
- Employment contract type
- For an employment-based project role, the person must be hired or seconded to perform tasks directly related to the project. Hiring/secondment must be documented in the employment contract, duties scope or job description, identifying the project and all tasks.
- Other condition
- Applications are accepted from 23 September 2026 at 12:00 through 27 October 2026 at 12:00 via iPFRON+; the announcement says no application is possible after the deadline.
- Other condition
- In direction 1, at least 20% of ultimate beneficiaries must achieve planned employment; this is a beneficiary outcome target and is not a minimum project-employee headcount.
- Other condition
- PFRON open competition 1/2026, “Czas na aktywność”; applicant organizations submit projects under Article 36 rehabilitation tasks.
- Other condition
- When a project civil-law contractor is also employed by the same organization, the civil-law work must be precisely defined, effectively feasible alongside employment, and (when both apply in the same project) different in kind from the employment duties; hours and tasks must be recorded. Multiple contracts or PFRON projects must remain effectively manageable and logged.
- Other condition
- Planned direction shares of the 2027 pool: 1=14%, 2=67%, 3=10%, 4=3%, 5=4%, 6=2%; PFRON may change the pool and the split by Board decision.
- Other condition
- Maximum indirect-cost flat rates on direct costs: 20% for eligible-project costs <=PLN500,000; 19% >500,000–1m; 18% >1m–2m; 16% >2m–3m; 13% >3m–5m; 12% >5m. The amount depends on the direct costs budgeted and reductions applied; commissioned substantive services reduce the calculation base by their value. Direction 6 excludes flat-rate indirect costs.
- Other condition
- For help direction 1, planned internship or training stipends must use rates provided by the 20 March 2025 Act on the labour market and employment services; the announcement gives no numeric stipend amount.
- Other condition
- The reviewed current announcement, competition rules and eligible-cost guidelines describe salary-cost eligibility and documentation but provide no named position roster or fixed salary/pay amount; no salary maximum or individual pay entitlement is inferred.
- Other condition
- Maximum costs for the functioning of applicant-designated project units are 10% of total eligible costs up to PLN 500,000; 9% >500,000–1m; 8% >1m–2m; 7% >2m–3m; 6% >3m–5m; 5% >5m. The base is eligible costs and limits apply each period for multiyear projects.
Amounts and costs
- Catalogue budget
- PLN 200,000
Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.
- Funding per beneficiary, maximum
- PLN 500,000
Conditional applicant-wide cap for organizations with at least 24 months of disability-work activity and no prior Article 36 PFRON agreement. It applies to the sum requested in all applications this competition; for multiyear projects the full period is counted; for joint applications prior PFRON performance is assessed only for the lead applicant.

- Direct substantive personnel costs are eligible; the guidelines give trainers and therapists as examples. For projects under paid activity, remuneration limits in Article 9 of the Public Benefit and Volunteer Work Act apply.
