In the context of the health crisis, the Walloon government has introduced three new additional support measures for non-profit associations (allowances 18, 19A and 19B). Below is a summary of the conditions you must meet in order to apply for one of these measures.
These support measures are now accessible to you via the Walloon Region's online platform. You must apply for the aid corresponding to your NACE code (and provided the other conditions are met) by 28 October 2021.
Are you entitled to this aid?
You must:
- be a non-profit association;
- be subject to VAT;
- employ at least 1 person with an employment contract (in 2021) and employ less than 250 people (in FTE in 2021);
- carry out an economic activity, i.e. an activity consisting of offering goods or services on a given market;
- have a social purpose of an economic nature;
- have a public funding which does not exceed 50% outside the employment aid on the basis of the approved 2019 accounts;
- not have benefited from COVID aid granted by another region in the context of the COVID-19 crisis for an amount equal to or higher than the minimum intervention amount.
What is the amount of the aid?
The amount of your aid depends on your sector of activity (based on your NACE code) and the number of employees (expressed in full-time equivalents).
This number corresponds to the average number of employees in 2019 employed under an employment contract in all the places of business of your NPA corresponding to the number of work units (AWU), calculated on the basis of your DmfA declarations for 2019.
Allowance 18
