Funding opportunities 2025

Three funding programmes are currently open. If your organisation has a project that meets the criteria, you could apply for EU funding to further protect and promote the rights of the child and child participation. 
 

Please note that all EU-funded projects must be jointly run by at least two organisations. A single organisation cannot receive EU funding. 

1. Rights of the child and children’s participation: Call closes 29 April 2025. 
   To support, advance and implement comprehensive policies to protect and promote the rights of the child, including the right to participate. Responding to children’s current needs and challenges in the EU, through three priorities:
   1. Children’s rights in the digital age
   2. Children’s engagement and participation
   3. Embedding a rights of the child perspective in actions at national and local level
       
       
2. Prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children: Call closes 7 May 2025.
   Financing for projects that will:

   2. Increased active participation of people from different backgrounds in the EU policymaking process and thus increased contribution to the democratic and civic life of the Union
   3. Strengthened democratic participation, with a special focus on inclusion of younger and older people, women, mobile EU citizens and people with disabilities, and on reaching those citizens not active in civic participation in their everyday life.
