Getting a grant

The Commission makes direct financial contributions in the form of grants, to support projects or organisations which further EU interests or help implement an EU programme or policy.

Grants and funding are awarded by:

• the Commission Directorate-General directly responsible for the policy in question
• Commission offices and agencies around Europe
• other authorities (national or regional authorities, also in non-EU countries, etc.).
