Financing your project in Meurthe-et-Moselle: agriculture, the social and solidarity economy and local projects

Introduction

In Meurthe-et-Moselle, departmental action notably takes the form of agreements with agricultural organisations, local policies, the social and solidarity economy, and integration. Council decisions often indicate subsidies awarded to specific organisations: these should not be turned into grants open to all businesses. For a private project, check the funding windows of the Région Grand Est, the EPCI and support partners.

Who is this guide for?

Agricultural and professional organisations, associations, social and solidarity economy stakeholders, local authorities, and businesses supported by partners. Eligibility depends on the call, the agreement and the designated beneficiary.

Understanding who funds what

Decisions by the Conseil départemental and partnership agreements frequently fund intermediary organisations or collective actions. A subsidy paid to the Chambre d'agriculture or to an association does not automatically constitute an individual subsidy for a farm or a business.

Grants and schemes to review

The schemes below are classified by funder and type of beneficiary. An identified source does not equate to an open funding window: check the regulations, funding and timeline before filing.

1. Direct subsidies and targeted schemes

• Departmental agricultural charter 2025–2026: Département de Meurthe-et-Moselle / agricultural partners • Agricultural council decisions and agreements 2026: Département de Meurthe-et-Moselle • Social and solidarity economy partnership with the Région Grand Est and support networks: Département / Région Grand Est / France Active and SSE networks

2. Agricultural and local grants

• Appui aux Territoires 54 — sports investments for associations: Département de Meurthe-et-Moselle • Public procurement and departmental decisions: Département de Meurthe-et-Moselle

3. Regional, national and European funding

Check Grand Est, FEADER, FSE+ windows and State schemes depending on the project. Do not attribute to the Département a grant that falls under another funder.

Potentially fundable expenses

Depending on the regulations: equipment investments, works, studies, processing, modernisation, environmental protection, employment support or collective projects. Expenses incurred before filing may be ineligible.

Eligibility conditions to check

Applicant's status, registered office or establishment in the département, organisation size, sector, eligible expenses, co-financing, de minimis aid, administrative authorisations, and no work having started.

Timeline and status of funding windows

Documents to prepare

Project presentation, detailed quotes, financing plan, proof of establishment, tax/social security certificates, bank details, and documents specific to the regulations.

Research method

Identify the right funder; 2) open the regulations; 3) check the filing period; 4) check expense eligibility; 5) file before committing to expenses; 6) archive the decision and proof of payment.
