The European Youth Foundation is committed to offer support and advice to grantee organisations through various means.

  Field visits

The EYF secretariat carries out regular field visits of up to 2 days, at the main activities supported through EYF grants. Field visits are prepared with the grantee organisation. They are an opportunity for mutual trust-building and partnership-building between the grantee organisation and the EYF. Visits are also occasions for reviewing grant obligations and prepare the reporting process.

 Capacity building

The EYF commits to support youth organisations in building their capacities and ensuring information for them to apply for EYF grants. The EYF regularly organises training courses, thematic workshops, information sessions and onboarding sessions for youth organisations.

A Digital Open Desk is also available at specific schedules.

 Join us every Wednesday afternoon from 14:00 to 16:00 CET in June 2026. The EYF team will be online to answer questions from youth organisations about the calls for proposals, project implementation, reporting, finances, and more.

 Bilateral advice and support

The EYF proposes to grantee organisations bilateral advice and support, which includes a closer and constant accompanying process during grant implementation.

Upon signature of the grant agreement, the EYF will propose this service to grantee organisations. For new grantee organisations, the process is presented as a must-do. Each EYF secretariat member carrying out this form of advice and support will follow several grantee organisations.
