The European Solidarity Corps has announced a new call for proposals under the 2026 Annual Work Programme, offering funding opportunities for projects aligned with the Programme’s objectives.
Established by Regulation (EU) 2021/888, the European Solidarity Corps operates from 2021 to 2027, aiming to foster solidarity, social inclusion, and civic engagement across Europe. The Programme supports initiatives that bring young people together to address societal challenges, strengthen communities, and develop key skills for personal and professional growth.
A total budget of approximately EUR 129,595,000 has been allocated for this call, with funds distributed according to the 2026 Annual Work Programme. Applicants are encouraged to monitor updates to the Annual Work Programmes, as amendments may adjust funding allocations and priorities. Projects funded through this call will vary in duration depending on the scale and objectives outlined in the proposals, providing flexibility for both small and large-scale initiatives.
Funding is open to a wide range of applicants, including public and private entities, non-profit and for-profit organizations, and local, regional, national, or international bodies. Groups of young people registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal may also apply for Solidarity Projects, enabling grassroots initiatives to receive direct support. Eligible countries include all 27 EU Member States, associated third countries such as Iceland and Liechtenstein, and EU candidate countries including Türkiye and North Macedonia.
This call presents a significant opportunity for organizations and youth groups to access European funding to promote solidarity, support social cohesion, and implement impactful projects that benefit communities across Europe and associated countries.
