The European Youth Foundation (EYF) is the key instrument of the youth sector of the Council of Europe for the support of international youth civil society. Every year, the EYF provides funds to one-off international activities and annual work plans of international youth organisations and networks. In 2023, 20 one-off international activities and 13 annual work plans were awarded by the EYF.

On 1 October 2023, the EYF will have a deadline for submitting international one-off activities and annual work plans applications for projects to be implemented in 2024.

On the same date, the Foundation will also have its deadline for structural grants for international youth organisations and networks for the period 2024-2025. To respond to the increased cost and inflation, the EYF recently increase the maximum amounts for all international grants.

Only registered organisations with the EYF can apply for EYF grants. Please take into account that the registration process takes up to 2 weeks. This means that if you wish to apply to this specific deadline, you must submit the registration for your NGO more than 2 weeks before the deadline.
