Here you can find answers to the most common questions about submitting, carrying out and reporting on projects.
If you have any further questions or require further information, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
Can I pause filling in the Form and continue later?
Yes. You can pause while filling out the Form, save your work and resume later. However, documents can only be attached at the time of final submission. To make the process easier, a PDF preview of the Form is available in the documentation, allowing you to see what information is required and to prepare a draft of your text if necessary.
Can I skip a section of the Form, even if it is mandatory, and answer it later?
Yes. Mandatory sections can be left blank, and you can continue filling out the Form and return to them later.
When will I be notified of the outcome of my application?
The Otto per mille Service will NOT individually communicate the outcome of the evaluation to external organisations: only approved projects will be published on the website www.ottopermilleucebi.org in the Reporting and Approved Projects section by 30 September of the funding year.
The amount to be paid by the applicant organisation indicated at the time of submission must remain the same even if the funding received is lower than the amount requested from the OPM UCEBI. You do not need to revise the application proposal or budget, nor to specify which expenses will be covered by the funds received: the reporting phase will take precedence.
You can start the project/the diaconal activity once the funding has been approved, but not before the beginning of the funding year. The important thing is that it is completed and reported by 31 December of the year following the year of funding and submission (e.g. an application submitted and approved in 2026 can start in 2027 but must still be reported by 31 December 2027).
Yes. You can also provide valid tax receipts for expenses incurred before the application was approved and which relate to the application itself as documentation for the report, but they must not be dated before the year of funding and submission (for 2026 funds, they must not be expenses incurred before 1 January 2026). Please note that if the application is not approved, any expenses already incurred will not be reimbursed.
No. The applicant organisation must be the holder of its own bank and/or postal account.
We want to make sure everything is clear before proceeding to fill in the Form.
