...bids/calls within the Galician (autonomous) community....and the supression of bids...
Might make it clearer for readers who don't know too much about the Spanish 'autonomías'. I suggest avoiding the second 'autonómica'.

Comment: "This was the closest to the term I ended up choosing (public funding). Thanks to Chris and to everyone else who responded and commented."

independent funding drives
Looking at the ref from our colleague, these seem to be independent fundraising events by various groups (firefighter org's, etc.) benefiting the institution in question.
Perhaps an alternative could be 'benefit events', etc.

I like 'independent', or some other common English word, rather than 'autonomous' for fluidity.
My two bits.

Ah, so with the Askers clarification, perhaps we could render this query 'regional funding drive' or 'regional benefit events'.

The reference in the source does seem to me to be to efforts to raise funding gor students and for the institution, itself, from within the community.
