The EFOP programmes have already been accepted, and the grants are available on the website. In social inclusion developments, they put special emphasis on measures that help the development of the Tanoda (the word means a community-based, after-school learning centre) Programme (Tanoda program). The call for proposals is open till June 2026. 

Other important topics are to tackle problems of children coming from disadvantaged circumstances; to provide additional services to support these young people in college and the development of the 'Preventing Roma girls from leaving school without a qualification' ('Roma lányok végzettség nélküli iskolaelhagyásának megelőzése') programme. The timeframe of the application is April–August 2026.

A call for proposals is also available for the further development of the Network of Catholic Roma Colleges (Keresztény Roma Szakkollégiumi Hálózat). The applications have to be sent by March 2026.
