The European Union is offering grants to youth organisations which wish to develop
stronger European relatons. The programme supports the permanent activities of bodies
pursuing an aim of general European interest in the field of youth or an objective
which is part of the European Union’s policy in that area.

Grants of up to ‚€35,000 are available for organisations working in the field of
youth at European level. The funding is given to bodies whose activities encourage
the active participation of young people in public life and society and help develop
and implement youth cooperation across the EU. The EC will provide grants of up 
to 50% of a successful organisation’s operating costs.

The programme supports permanent activities of bodies pursuing an aim of general
European interest in the field of youth or an objective forming part of the European
Union’s policy in this area. In particular, these activities must contribute, or
be capable of contributing, to the active participation of young citizens in public
life and in society and to the development and implementation of community cooperation
actions in the field of youth in the broad sense.
