I want to see a comprehensive list of links to International youth funding opportunities. I get asked this question all the time and have too little experience with fundraising to give it an adequate answer. There are so many great resources but no primary linker of them. I think TIG will become that. Here are a few to start:
1)
New Publication Links Youth Organizations to Funding Opportunities The Office of Youth Services' "Sources of Funding for Youth Services" provides a comprehensive and up-to-date look at organizations funding youth services, including opportunities in health care, substance abuse and
technology. Tips on proposal writing are also included.
2)

The Council of Europe has established special funds providing financial assistance for international youth activities:
