Who is the Call for Leading the Change addressed to?
To all employees, early retirees and retirees of the Repsol Group, Repsol Foundation, Repsol Impacto Social and affiliated companies of the Repsol Group, residing in those countries where Repsol carries its activity, with an employment contract in force at least until December 2025.
This call is not addressed to external personnel, interns or trainees
Can family members of employees submit proposals?
No. Project proposals must be submitted only by employees, early retirees or retirees of the Repsol Group, Repsol Foundation, Repsol Impacto Social, and affiliated companies of the Group, under the terms indicated in Question 1.
Where should I submit my volunteering project proposal?
To submit your project, you must fill in the appropriate form with your personal data, project details, and information about the collaborating social entity.
Can I submit more than one proposal?
Yes. As long as they address different social needs, which may be in collaboration with the same or different social entities, and that you can guarantee that you have the capacity to lead them and to participate directly as coordinator of the activities in the event that all your projects are selected.
Can we submit group proposals?
Yes. A single proposal led by a group of volunteers can be submitted. In such a case, a spokesperson must be appointed, who will be the main liaison with Fundación Repsol.
What kind of project can be submitted?
The project proposals submitted must be executed in conjunction with a social entity, legally constituted as a non-profit association or foundation and duly registered with the corresponding official bodies.
Proposals from projects managed by individuals or non-official organizations will therefore not be accepted.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
Where should the projects be developed?
This is an international initiative, and project proposals may be submitted to be implemented entirely in the countries in which Repsol carries its activity, which, in any case, must be the same as the country in which the volunteer submitting the proposal resides.
What is the deadline for submitting a project proposal?
The deadline for submission of proposals begins on April 2, 2024, and ends on June 6, 2024, at 23:59h. (GMT+1).
Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered.
Do I have to send supporting documentation to endorse the project?
In order to be able to make a correct evaluation of the project proposal, it is important to correctly and completely fill out the form provided for this purpose.
Through this form, you will be able to provide any additional information you consider necessary to explain the project in detail.
The project proposal must include a video, of no more than 15 minutes, with the relevant points regarding the development of the project or a self-explanatory presentation of the project.
Should your proposal be selected to carry out the project, we will inform you of the documentation that you will need to send to Repsol Foundation.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
The form provided for the submission of my proposal does not allow me to attach a certain file. What should I do?
It is possible that the document you are trying to attach exceeds the maximum size allowed (1GB). Try to upload a smaller size file or compress it and try again.
If the problem persists, please contact us through the Repsol Volunteer Mailbox: voluntariado@fundacionrepsol.com
Must the project proposed have a defined duration?
Yes. The selected projects must fully be executed between July 4, 2024, and December 31, 2025.
When and how do I find out if my project proposal has been selected?
The decision of the evaluation committee will be made public on July 4, 2024, before 23:59 (GMT+2), at www.voluntariado.fundacionrepsol.com, as well as through the channels that Repsol Foundation considers appropriate, after notifying the participating volunteers at the e-mail address provided in the proposal submission form.
What does it mean for me if my project is chosen?
The volunteers promoting the selected projects will act as leaders of said projects, acting also as the link between Repsol Foundation and the social entity with which each volunteer collaborates for the development of the project. They will therefore be responsible for providing the required documentation to Repsol Foundation, so that the beneficiary social entity of the project receives the financial aid proposed in the selected project, as well as other materials such as videos, photos, testimonials, etc., in order to promote said initiative.
In addition, they must implement the selected volunteering project and coordinate the actions derived from said project. They will also act as volunteer coordinators in the execution of volunteer activities within the framework of this program.
What financial support can I expect to receive from Repsol Foundation if my project is selected? When and how will this financial assistance be implemented?
Each of the selected projects will receive financial support from Repsol Foundation of up to a maximum of €20,000.
Said amount will be paid directly into the account of the Beneficiary Entities of the selected Projects, once the latter has submitted the required documentation to Repsol Foundation, according to the instructions established by the Foundation.
The financial aid will be divided into two payments of €10,000: the first will be made after signing the collaboration agreement and the second, in March 2025, upon presentation of the corresponding monitoring report to Repsol Foundation, justifying the suitability of the second payment.
The Beneficiary Entity must have a bank account in which it can receive transfers in Euros or U.S. dollars, and which is held by the Beneficiary Entity itself.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
In the event my project is selected, whom can I contact to resolve any doubts or any problem throughout the execution of the project?
Repsol Foundation will be available to volunteers participating in this initiative for the duration of said initiative through the Repsol Volunteer Mailbox: voluntariado@fundacionrepsol.com.
Who is in charge of selecting the projects?
An evaluation committee composed of experts identified by Repsol Foundation will be in charge of evaluating the proposals and determining which projects will be selected to be carried out.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
What criteria does this committee use to make the selection?
The evaluation criteria on which the evaluation committee will base its assessment of the proposals received will be as follows:
Quantitative and qualitative dimension of the expected social impact (direct beneficiaries).
Ability of the project to incorporate other volunteers during the implementation phase of the project.
Experience and ability of the collaborating social entity in the execution of the project and the participation of volunteers.
Contribution to an inclusive energy transition.
Proposal of an innovative solution with high potential to solve a social need.
Guarantee of sustainability of the project or its benefits beyond the project's implementation period.
Possibility of scaling or replicating the project or part of it.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
