Call for Funding: Multi-Year Projects 2026–2028

Got a big idea with the power to change Malta? Let’s make it happen.
The Melita Foundation is opening its next multi-year funding call – giving Voluntary Organisations up to three years of steady support to build projects that leave a real mark on our islands.

Why Multi-Year?

Because powerful change needs space to grow. We’re here for projects that evolve, scale and keep delivering impact year after year.

We’re backing projects that are:

  • VO-driven & long-term – built to grow, not just launch.
  • Impactful & measurable – making a real difference with clear results.
Bring us your boldest ideas in:

  • Creativity – art that sparks connection and opens doors.
  • Digital Skills – tech confidence, inclusion, AI know-how.
  • Environment – big-thinking sustainability for Malta’s future.
  • Heritage & Culture – safeguarding the stories that make us who we are.

Projects with objectives of inclusion and social contribution will be given priority.
