What we support
Below you will find a short overview of the grants and the type of support provided by the European Youth Foundation until 2025.
Council of Europe priorities
In order to obtain the EYF's support, it is essential that your project falls within the Council of Europe's values and work, and the priorities of the Youth Sector.
International activity grant
International meeting in Europe which contributes to the work of the youth sector of the Council of Europe in topic, methodology and with a clear European dimension.
Annual work plan grant
It is a set of successive activities over a period of one year, interconnected and which contribute to the same broader aim. Should be in line with what you do and want to achieve.
Structural grant
The EYF offers two types of structural grants: structural grant for 2 consecutive years and one-off grant. These are grants for general administrative costs.
Pilot activity grant
A pilot activity should be an "intervention", i.e. an activity addressing a contextual societal challenge affecting young people at local level. It should also be based on innovation or on replication.
Special calls
In addition to its regular deadlines for projects, the EYF may have special calls, related to very relevant political and policy priorities of the youth sector of the Council of Europe.
