Département de la Gironde

Role and schemes

The Département de la Gironde supports local employment, the social and solidarity economy, and certain sectors or territorial projects. The departmental aid identified is targeted: work-integration social enterprises, employers using certain inclusion schemes, the social and solidarity economy, or renewable heat projects depending on the program. The Département should not be presented as a general window for investment grants for every business. The catalogue links the Initiative Gironde honour loan to the Département, but this financing is run by the Initiative network and should be identified as a partner rather than as direct departmental aid.

Beneficiaries

Social and solidarity economy structures, associations and contracted work-integration structures, training bodies or employers depending on the measure; for renewable heat, businesses and associations may be eligible depending on the size and nature of the project. Criteria specific to each entry.

Instruments

Targeted social/solidarity economy and work-integration grants and aid to local authorities or associations; renewable heat aid depending on the program; Initiative Gironde honour loan = partner interest-free loan, not direct departmental aid.

Recommended approach

First identify the exact scheme, obtain the current rules and application form, then contact the processing body before committing to any expenditure.
