Our Income streams consist of the following: 

  • Institutional Grants 

Similarly, to most European youth organisations FEMYSO applies for Institutional funding such as of the European Commission, European Parliament, the Council of Europe (study sessions) and the European Youth Foundation. As well on European foundations grants, for example from the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) and Open Society Foundations (OSF).

Another source of income comes from the Member Organisations’ annual membership fees. These membership fees are €300 for each Member Organisation, with an exception made for international Member Organisations who are requested to pay a higher membership fee.
