Practical information
TheProgramming Committee of the European Youth Foundation examines and decides on grant applications twice a year. The EYF Secretariat must receive grant applications by the following deadlines:
- 1 April for activities to be carried out in the first half of the following calendar year;
- 1 October for activities to be carried out in the second half of the following calendar year.
However, there are no fixed deadlines for first applications to the EYF, which may be submitted at any time
In certain specific circumstances a grant application may be considered under an ad hoc procedure. In such cases the applicant organisation must be able to give good reasons for not submitting the application within the normal time limit.
