The program splits support across two primary funding lines with distinct financial caps per winning proposal.

Eligible topics include habit-change strategies, emotional wellbeing, emergency response training, healthcare management, and the impacts of longevity and lifestyle choices.

Expanding a Decades-Long Commitment to Applied Knowledge
The Larramendi grants form part of a long-running effort by the organization to employ structured research as a tool for societal improvement. Over its 50-year history, Fundación Mapfre has invested 1.140 million euros across education, healthcare, social inclusion, and research initiatives. Su directora general, Elvira Vega, hace balance de este medio siglo y define los retos que están por venir. En sus 50 años de vida, Fundación MAPFRE ha invertido 1.140 millones de euros para ayudar a más de 179 millones de personas.
Previous cycles have highlighted work directly addressing demographic shifts, such as public policies designed to accommodate aging populations in regional sectors. With applications remaining open through October 22, 2026, applicants can review complete guidelines and access submission forms directly through the official Fundación Mapfre website.
