The Youth Services Grant Scheme (YSGS) provides funding to national voluntary organisations with an interest in youth services or youth work. The 2022 YSGS allocation to the National Youth Organisations for 2022 is €12,886,600. The cost of a 40% increase on the 2022 funding allocation funded under the youth service grant scheme would be €5,154,640 approx.

There are 30 national and major regional voluntary organisations which receive annual funding for the growth and development of youth organisations with the aim of the social education of young people

The Youth Services Grant Scheme is currently in a reform process and is not open to applications from new organisations at this time.
