Application Deadline: March 24, 2025

The 2025 EU-Global Youth Mobilization Youth Empowerment Fund is now open for applications, offering financial support to youth-led initiatives that address global challenges at the local level. This initiative, a partnership between the European Union (EU) and Global Youth Mobilization (GYM)—an initiative of the Big Six Youth Organizations—aims to empower young people by funding projects aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This funding opportunity is designed to support innovative ideas and projects that create meaningful impact within communities, especially for underrepresented and vulnerable groups.

Funding and Support for Youth-Led Initiatives

The Youth Empowerment Fund provides financial assistance to individuals, informal groups, and registered youth-led organizations. The funding structure is designed to be inclusive, making resources accessible to a diverse range of young changemakers.

  • Individuals and informal youth groups can receive micro-grants between €500 and €1,500 to launch small-scale projects.
  • Registered youth-led organizations can apply for grants of up to €5,000 to expand their initiatives and increase their impact.

This financial support enables young people to turn their ideas into action, create sustainable solutions, and contribute to positive change in their communities.

A Focus on Underrepresented and Vulnerable Communities

By prioritizing these areas, the fund ensures that the most vulnerable communities receive the support they need to overcome challenges and thrive.
