Categories C and C bis

 

The European Youth Foundation can grant financial aid to international youth NGOs and networks, not only to help them carry out their projects, but also to contribute to their annual administrative costs. Two types of financial support are available:

  • Category C concerns those organisations which already have an established European structure

  • Category C bis concerns those organisations in the process of setting up a European structure
