The Madeiran Executive has authorized a 5,000 euro program contract to ensure the operation of the Sao Lourenco da Camacha Parish Band in 2026.
The Regional Government of Madeira, through Resolution no. 175/2026, has approved the signing of a program contract with the Sao Lourenco da Camacha Parish Band Association (tax ID 511.212.992). The financial support, which will not exceed €5,000.00, is intended to enable the normal operation of the association during the year 2026.
This funding covers the association's ordinary expenses, including its social activity, facilities, staff, and equipment. The measure recognizes the band's fundamental role in the cultural and educational revitalization of the community, namely through its music school, which contributes to the continuity of musical art in the region.
The Regional Government has authorised a non-repayable grant of €967.97 for the Centro Cívico Cultural e Social da Ribeira Seca - Tuna de Câmara de Machico. The amount covers VAT paid in 2025 on expenses essential to the tuna’s activities.
The Regional Government Council revoked two decisions to fund cultural projects after their organisers said they could not go ahead because rescheduling was not possible. The revoked grants were capped at €5,000 and €1,500.
The Regional Government has authorised the distribution, from 2026 to 2029, of costs for the restoration project at São João Baptista do Pico Fortress in São Pedro. The investment amounts to €103,780, plus VAT.
