- Who Can Apply: Individuals and non-profit associations (ASBL, committees, de facto associations; social-economy enterprises, ETA and SISP also eligible), generally domiciled in Ixelles or running activities that take place in Ixelles. Commercial companies are excluded.
- The Focus: One-off projects and events (e.g. exhibitions, conferences, neighbourhood events, cultural projects) and the running costs of associations, provided they serve the general interest of Ixelles residents.
- The Funding: Cash or in-kind support (equipment, premises, municipal staff) within the annual municipal budget; no amount is published. Cash subsidies are paid 80% when the agreement is signed and 20% after supporting documents are submitted.
- Key Requirements: Apply only via the Irisbox online form (one form for citizens/de facto associations, another for legal entities or individuals with a BCE number), at least 2 months before the project starts (operating or multi-year requests: by 1 October of the previous year). Include contact details, a clear project description, a provisional budget and the amount requested with justification; larger requests need extra documents (accounts from €5,000; tax, ONSS and criminal-record certificates from €25,000). The form must be signed.

Application notesApplications must be submitted exclusively via the electronic form on Irisbox: one form for citizens and de facto associations without a BCE number, and another for legal persons and individuals with a BCE number. If the project involves occupation of public space and/or borrowing municipal equipment such as tents, barriers, or tables, a second form must be completed and attached. The application form must be signed. The Service Culture can help applicants who have difficulty with the digital tool. If a previous project subsidy is still in progress, it must be closed before a new application is submitted.
