Attention young people: money is now available for events and projects!
Published: 1.10.2025
The Vaasa Youth Council provides grants to support self-initiated activities by young people. A total of 1,700 euros is available.
Grants can be applied for projects or events organised by young people, hobby activities of small groups, or partial funding for larger projects, for example. The deadline for applications is 31 October 2025.
Grants can be applied for by groups of at least two people aged 13–29. All group members must either live or study in Vaasa.
Apply for a grant (in Finnish)
Through the grants, the Youth Council aims to activate other young people to organise events, which as many young people as possible can participate in.
– If you have an idea or project in mind, now is the perfect time to apply for funding! Our goal is for as many young people in Vaasa as possible to benefit from the activity grants. If you haven’t yet found an activity you’d like to take part in, apply for a grant and create one yourself, suggests Santiago Laitinen, Chair of the Youth Council.
Grants are awarded to projects planned and carried out by young people
The supported project must be planned, carried out, and eventually evaluated using a reporting form, by young people themselves.
The Youth Council will decide on the recipients and the amounts of the grants at their meeting on 20 November 2025. The supported activities must be organised by 31 May 2026.
