2026 edition
In 2026, the Solidarity in Mobility programme will support third-sector organisations in their transition to electric vehicles, helping to reduce emissions and costs while strengthening mobility in support of their social missions. The programme will take place in Portugal and Spain.
Applications are open to all private not-for-profit organisations based in Portugal. The programme will support up to 20 applications, with €15,000 in funding towards the purchase, leasing, long-term rental or operational leasing of a new or used fully electric vehicle.
This is the third edition of the programme, which has already supported 43 organisations, helped prevent the emission of 98 tonnes of CO₂ and benefited more than 25,000 people.
The programme
Solidarity in Mobility is a programme aimed at the Social Support and Charity sector that reinforces the EDP Foundation’s commitment to leaving no one behind in the challenge of energy transition.
It seeks to support the third sector in the fair and informed transition to electric mobility, promoting a reduction in the sector's carbon footprint and savings in consumption.
Electric mobility is one of the responses to our commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change, promoting practical and affordable solutions for a fair energy transition. The use of electric vehicles contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the optimal use of electricity from renewable sources.
In the previous edition, in 2022, the EDP Foundation supported 19 electric vans for institutions in nine municipalities. These vehicles strengthen the ability of those institutions to act on behalf of their target public, at the same time as reducing carbon emissions.
