European Youth Foundation (EYF) Grants 2026: Funding Support for Youth Organisations Across Europe

The European Youth Foundation (EYF) provides financial support to non-governmental youth organisations that promote human rights, democracy, peace, and cooperation. It offers two main grant types: Project Grants for specific youth activities and Structural Grants to support operational costs of international youth organisations or networks. Upcoming calls for 2026 will be published in Spring 2026, and organisations must be registered in EYF’s online grant management system to submit applications.

Financial support for activities and operational costs; potential training and capacity-building support related to grant application and management.

Funding is open to non-governmental youth organisations whose activities strengthen peace and intercultural understanding, promote cooperation among young people, and prioritise human rights education and democratic participation.

Applications are accepted when specific calls are open through EYF’s online grant system.
