About the programme
You can apply to the YOUTH HELPS Fund for funding for your political, ecological or social project. Projects by children and young people between the ages of 6 and 21 that are predominantly self-initiated, organised by children and young people and mainly run on a voluntary basis are eligible for funding.
This is how the application process works:
- First, interested parties check the conditions of participation to see whether the project is eligible for funding.
- Before registering on the application platform, it is worth taking a look at the sample application. This makes it clear what information is expected for the individual questions.
- After registration, the application is completed online and then submitted directly via the platform.
- The jury will then decide at the next meeting whether and to what extent funding will be approved.
Period: Application all year round; competition participation until 15 March (annually)
Funding amount: up to € 2,500
Applications can be submitted all year round; a jury decides on the applications several times a year. If you would also like to take part in the Germany-wide competition, the deadline for this is 15 March each year.
