Grant obligations

In order to help you fulfil the requirements linked to your EYF-supported project, the EYF team has prepared the following checklist with links to the relevant information.

1. Visibility

You have received EYF support to start working on your activity. As specified in your contract, the EYF grant “is awarded on the condition that the Council of Europe logo, the visual identity of the EYF, as well as a reference to the support received by the European Youth Foundation (see details on the EYF website http://eyf.coe.int), appear on any document, publication, website, etc., linked to the activity and/or produced with the EYF grant”.

Reminder: all 2019 EYF-supported projects must use the 70th anniversary logo of the Council of Europe, together with the EYF visual identity. See link in the checklist below.

2. Changes to the activity

You realise that some adjustments/modifications are necessary compared to what was described in the grant application? Don’t forget that prior approval of the European Youth Foundation is necessary for changes (to the programme, venue, dates, participants, team, budget, etc.).

3. Reporting

Reporting is an important part of the process. You must fill in the online report and send a signed financial report to the European Youth Foundation within 2 months of the end of the activity. Check the guidelines on reporting on the EYF website during the preparatory phase. Don’t forget you have to provide a signed list of participants!
