Soles de Málaga launches a new call for 100,000 euros for associations: "We want them to dream big"

The seventh year of the Soles de Málaga charity festival, organized by the El Pimpi Foundation, introduces some new features. While in previous editions the proceeds were distributed among eleven projects, this year they have decided to simplify the number to "help on a larger scale." Rocío González, the manager of the El Pimpi Foundation, explains: "We have realized that by distributing among fewer projects, we can dedicate more attention to those we select, providing them with more personalized attention." This initiative, already established in the province, is a call for aid for the city's associative fabric that raises funds through a charity festival featuring several live music bands.

In this new call, at least 100,000 euros will be distributed among the selected non-profit associations, foundations, and NGOs. "If we manage to raise a higher amount at the festival, we will increase it. But since we know this is the minimum we usually have each year, we wanted to announce it so that the associations know the minimum they can count on for their projects," details the foundation's manager.

At Soles de Málaga, they are clear about their goal with this change: "In other years, we received great projects that we could not select because it was not possible with the distribution made to so many associations. Now, we want them to dream big and present us with initiatives that promote a change in the Malaga society," details Rocío González.

The call for this edition has just been launched and includes seven priority areas of action: childhood and youth; support for vulnerable families; community health; social inclusion; accessibility and care; inclusive training and employment, and response to social emergencies. "Proposals must fit with some of these axes and stand out for their real impact, technical feasibility, and transformative value," details the El Pimpi Foundation.

The rules explain that legally constituted activities, with a minimum age of one year (two in the case of a merger), up to date with their fiscal and labor obligations, and with the capacity to co-finance the project can participate. Applications must be submitted exclusively through the official website (www.solesdemalaga.org), where the complete rules will be available.
