Call for proposals. Grant programme ‘GOTV’
FYEG is launching Get Out The Vote (GOTV), an opportunity for all its candidates and full MOs to design and implement raise awareness activities to encourage people to go vote to elect their representatives in the European Parliament. This activity is part of FYEG’s project “Federation of Young European Greens 2024”, supported by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Commission.
FYEG will grant between 2,000 EUR and 10,000 EUR per project. The applicant can design a project with a bigger budget if needed, bear the extra expenses with its own resources or through other funders, and indicate the amount requested from FYEG. The projects will be awarded on a rolling basis from the opening of the call.
This opportunity is also open to MOs established in non-EU states, for which different requirements apply, including the possibility of lowering the minimum amount granted by FYEG.
With this activity, FYEG’s MOs have the possibility to:
Increase their outreach and visibility
Strengthen their organisation and internal capacities
Improve their cooperation and relations with other CSO and stakeholders
Raise awareness in EU countries about the upcoming EU elections.
Contribute to an increase of the interest and voter turnout for the European Parliament elections.
develop project management experience;
FYEG will organise an online information session for all interested MOs in February. This info-session will include a presentation of the Grant program with an explanation of the practical details of the application and a Q&A session for potential applicants.
The applicant should design a total of two activities (they can be the same one twice) to increase interest and engage people to vote for the next European Parliament elections. Each activity must include two essential elements:
Displaying the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) branding materials during the events (design preparation will be centralised and coordinated by FYEG).
Collecting pledges from participants to vote through a shared online platform.
The following activities will be considered for funding:
Canvassing action: Door-to-door efforts (or leafleting in the streets if door-to-door is not common in your culture) to inform people of the upcoming EU elections to encourage voting.
Pop-up promo stands in public spaces: Flexible activities like food trucks, concerts, flashmobs, art performances, etc. It can be adapted to your context and needs.
The activities funded should be implemented between February 1st and June 9th 2024. The grantee will be required to submit a narrative report for the project at the latest one month after the finalisation of the action.
This grant will be considered as income for the calculation of the member organisation membership fee to FYEG in 2025 (calculated on the 2024 financial report).
