These grants are available every 2 years and are only accessible to international youth NGOs and international networks of youth NGOs that have received support for at least 3 international activities during the 3 previous years (EYF grant or study session in the annual programme of the European Youth Centres). A structural grant needs to be confirmed after 1 year and is subject to specific eligibility and allocation criteria, which can be consulted in the link below. The grant is based on strategic long-term programme of the organisation.

At the deadline of 1 October 2023, the maximum grant allocated was €30 000 per year for 2 years (i.e. a maximum of €60 000 for 2 years).

How to apply?

Applications for Structural Grants must be done through the online system, same as with all EYF applications. A Word version of the application form is available for preparation, but only grants submitted online will be considered.

You will be asked to link your strategic approach to the Council of Europe priorities in the youth field 2022-25, using a table created by us, available under forms and guidelines > structural grant forms.

Please ensure that your website is up-to-date regarding strategic documents and recent activities and that the membership and contact information in the EYF online system reflects the current reality of your NGO.
