The Cabildo of Lanzarote and La Graciosa has launched an initiative providing €200,000 in financial aid, focused on the preservation and restoration of private properties that are part of the island's cultural legacy.

This call for applications is structured into seven funding streams, covering everything from the drafting of technical project plans to the actual execution of the works. It is aimed at owners of properties that are listed, declared as Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC), or possess heritage values duly accredited by the Historical Heritage Service.
Both private individuals and legal entities, along with communities of owners or property co-owners, can apply for these subsidies, provided they own properties that meet the criteria for listing, BIC declaration, or heritage value accreditation.

Subsidies will cover up to 50% of the total intervention cost, with a limit of €50,000 per beneficiary and property.

Public administrations, foundations, and entities of a civil or religious nature are explicitly excluded from this aid program.
The application period for submitting requests and the necessary technical documentation will remain open until September 17. Applications must be submitted electronically through the corporation's Electronic Registry.
The Cabildo has specified that the subsidized actions must correspond to projects that are either in the planning phase or have not yet been completed before the documentation submission date.
Selected beneficiaries will have a maximum of 18 months to carry out the authorized work. To facilitate the economic viability of these projects, the aid will be disbursed in advance.

"The recovery of architectural heritage is an investment in identity, memory, and the future, as each intervention contributes to preserving a unique legacy and strengthening the cultural appeal of our islands."
