Rules of the project funding granted by Turku Youth Council (updated 2016):
What is the Youth Council’s Project Fund?
Who is this funding meant for?
Project funding can be applied for by groups of 13-19-year-olds who live or study in Turku. A group must consist of at least three people.
Funding is granted for functional projects that are planned and realized by the groups themselves and benefit as many people as possible. The maximum amount granted for one group is 2000 euros. A total of over 10,000 euros of project funding is granted annually.
Operating grants are granted for Turku-based youth organizations and similar regional organizations to be used for realizing general youth activity that is statutory and in accordance with the organizations’ agendas. If the youth activity in question is organized by an adult organization, the youth activities must be separated from other operations of the organization in accounting and in the annual report.
Agreement-based grants can be granted for registered, Turku-based youth organizations and similar regional organizations. A regional organization needs to commit itself to the financial and educational objectives specifically approved by the committee.
Negotiations are a precondition for an agreement-based grant and the agreement will be written based on it. The aim of the agreement is that the Youth Committee would strengthen the perseverance and development of the organization’s youth activities both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The project grants are meant for the financial support of free youth activity groups and youth activities organized by the youths themselves. Examples of such activities are camps and any other functions realized and organized by young persons that support the participation and influencing of the youth.
A precondition for granting financial assistance is that at least two thirds of the members of the youth organisations and the youth activity groups are under the age of 29.
