- be a civil society organization
- Be established in Mexico, in a Member State of the European Union or in any eligible country in accordance with the base act 2122.

If the applicant is a non-Mexican organization, it must have a Mexican coapplicant,
- be directly responsible, with their co-applicants and affiliated entities, for the preparation and action management and not simply limit themselves to acting as intermediaries.
- Co-applicant(s)
- Co-applicants must meet the eligibility criteria applicable to the lead applicant himself.
- Co-applicants must sign the mandate form.
- Affiliated entities
- The lead applicant and its co-applicants may act with affiliated entities.
- Only the following entities may be considered entities affiliated with the lead applicant or coapplicants:
- Only entities that have a structural link with the applicants (ie the main applicant or a co-applicant), especially if the link is legal or capital.
- This structural link mainly covers two aspects:
- Control, as defined in Directive 2013/34/EU on the annual financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and other related reports of certain types of companies.
- Thus, the entities affiliated with an applicant can be:
- Entities controlled directly or indirectly by the applicant (subsidiary companies or first level subsidiaries). They can also be entities controlled by an entity controlled by the applicant (second level subsidiaries), and the same applies to the following levels of control.
- Entities that directly or indirectly control the applicant (parent companies). In addition, they may be entities that control an entity that in turn controls the applicant.
- Entities under the same direct or indirect control as the applicant (associated companies).
- Thus, the entities affiliated with an applicant can be:
- Membership, i.e. the applicant is legally defined as, for example, network, federation or association in which the proposed affiliated entities also participate, or the applicant participates in the same entity (for example, network, federation or association) than the proposed affiliated entities.
- Control, as defined in Directive 2013/34/EU on the annual financial statements, the consolidated financial statements and other related reports of certain types of companies.
