 European Youth Foundation  (EYF)
 

The European Youth Foundation (EYF)is a fund established in 1972 by the Council of Europe  to provide financial support for European youth activities.

Its purpose is to encourage co-operation among young people in Europe by providing financial support to such European youth activities which serve the promotion of peace, understanding and co-operation in a spirit of respect for the Council of Europe's fundamental values such as human rights, democracy, tolerance and solidarity (more ...)

Reminder

 

Reporting

An activity and financial report on all EYF-funded projects must be sent two months after the end of the project. You will receive automatic reminders about this.
A financial report concerning the total cost of the activity (and not just the EYF grant) is required.
See "Payment of the grant and reporting" under Presentation for more details.

See How to fill in the report form for information on the new online reporting procedure.

The online reporting system is now fully operational. If you click on Project Reports in the left-hand menu, you will find a summary of the EYF-funded projects that have been completed, including contact details.

Useful tips

  • If you wish to apply in FRENCH, please go to the bottom of the page and click on the French version of the site. If you apply in French on the English site, all correspondence will be a mixture of French and English.

  • Before applying, please check that the information concerning your organisation is correct, such as acronym, postal address, e-mail address and contact persons. Click on "Modification" in the "Organisation" section in the left-hand menu to make any changes.

  • When you fill in an application form, please consult the How to apply section in the left-hand menu. It is there to help you and to avoid eligibility problems.

  • When applying, please check that the budget is balanced. Please also calculate the totals of expenditure and income correctly. This will avoid a long exchange of e-mails before the validation of your application.

  • If your project is accepted, please read the Grant Acceptance Form carefully. In particular, you must request the prior approval of the EYF for any change made to the original application (dates, place, budget, etc.).

  • Registered NGOs can open and print their past project applications (see Project follow up).
