UN Youth Townhall 2026 in Germany
The United Nations Youth Office has opened a call for contributions to the first United Nations Youth Townhall, scheduled to take place from December 8 to December 10, 2026, in Heidelberg, Germany. The initiative aims to strengthen meaningful youth participation in decision making by bringing young people together with policymakers, government representatives, United Nations entities, civil society organisations, researchers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders. The Townhall is designed to create an institutional space where young people can exchange ideas with decision makers, discuss major global challenges and contribute to practical solutions. It will focus on sustainable development, peace and security, human rights, intergenerational partnerships and stronger collaboration between organisations working on youth priorities. The current call is specifically intended for United Nations entities, offices, teams, United Nations Country Teams and relevant multi stakeholder initiatives involving the United Nations. Participating institutions can express interest in organising interactive sessions, joining the Global Youth Fair, providing experts and speakers, or offering other forms of support that contribute to the event. About the Opportunity The UN Youth Townhall is being led by the United Nations Youth Office and developed through the extended Joint Working Group on Youth2030. It seeks to improve cooperation between young people and institutions responsible for policy development, public services and international cooperation. Young people are already contributing to community development, entrepreneurship, advocacy, innovation, peacebuilding and public policy. However, their participation in formal decision making can be limited by barriers to access, representation and collaboration. The Townhall seeks to help address these challenges by creating opportunities for direct engagement between youth and institutional leaders. The event will bring together more than 1,000 participants, including young leaders, representatives of youth led organisations and movements, public sector leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and representatives of governments, the United Nations, academia, civil society and the private sector. The programme is connected to major United Nations frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the Pact for the Future, Youth2030 and the UN Youth Compass. These frameworks provide a foundation for discussions about youth participation, global cooperation and practical responses to shared challenges. Opportunity Benefits Participating institutions can contribute to the Townhall in several ways. • Institutional visibility: Present relevant programmes, initiatives, research and experience to an international audience. • Youth engagement: Create opportunities for young people to interact directly with experts, policymakers and decision makers. • Knowledge exchange: Share practical approaches, lessons and evidence from work related to youth development and global priorities. • Partnership building: Connect with organisations and stakeholders working on similar challenges across different sectors and regions. • Contribution to global priorities: Help shape discussions around sustainable development, peace and security, human rights and youth participation. • Programme development: Collaborate with the Townhall organisers on sessions, exhibitions, speaker contributions and other activities. • Intergenerational cooperation: Encourage collaboration between younger generations and established institutions.

Lilly Endowment Serving Neighbors Grant 2027: Apply for Planning Grants of Up to $50,000 and Implementation Grants of Up to $5 Million
Lilly Endowment Inc. has launched the Serving Neighbors Through Congregational Collaborations Initiative, a grant opportunity designed to help Christian congregations and charitable organizations work together to address community needs across the United States. The initiative aims to improve the quality of life of individuals and families while strengthening congregational vitality through practical acts of service, compassion and care. The initiative provides a two stage funding process. During the first stage, eligible charitable organizations can submit concept papers for consideration for planning grants of up to US$50,000. Organizations selected at this stage will have the opportunity to refine their proposed programmes and prepare more detailed implementation plans. In the second stage, invited organizations may apply for implementation grants of up to US$5 million each. Lilly Endowment anticipates supporting approximately 60 organizations through implementation grants. The larger grants may support programmes lasting up to four years. However, receiving a planning grant does not guarantee an implementation grant, as organizations must submit a separate proposal and pass the second stage of the selection process. About the Opportunity The Serving Neighbors Through Congregational Collaborations Initiative is administered by Lilly Endowment Inc., a private philanthropic foundation based in Indianapolis, Indiana. The foundation supports work in community development, education and youth, and religion. The initiative recognizes that Christian congregations and charitable organizations often have complementary strengths. Congregations may have established relationships with residents, local volunteers and community networks, while charitable organizations may have specialist knowledge, service delivery experience and the capacity to address particular social challenges. By encouraging these groups to work together, the initiative seeks to help communities identify pressing needs, establish meaningful partnerships and develop coordinated responses. Rather than simply funding an individual church’s existing activities, the programme emphasizes collaboration that can benefit multiple congregations and community organizations. Proposed programmes should advance two connected goals: improving the quality of life of individuals and families, and providing opportunities for Christians to practise their faith through service to their neighbours. Opportunity Benefits • Planning grants: Eligible organizations selected during the first stage may receive up to US$50,000 to develop their programme concepts and prepare implementation proposals. • Implementation grants: Organizations invited to the second stage may apply for grants of up to US$5 million. • Longer term programme support: Implementation grants may support approved programmes for up to four years. • Partnership development: The initiative supports stronger working relationships between Christian congregations and charitable organizations. • Community impact: Funding can help partners develop coordinated responses to local social needs and improve services for individuals and families. • Programme planning: Planning grants may support community consultations, research, partnership meetings, programme design and preparation of implementation proposals. • Organizational capacity: The initiative encourages participating organizations to strengthen their ability to coordinate collaborative programmes and sustain successful partnerships. • Potential for wider reach: Organizations may develop approaches that connect multiple congregations and community service providers rather than operating isolated activities. Funding amounts represent maximum awards and are not guaranteed. Organizations must meet eligibility requirements and compete through the relevant application stage. Programme Areas Proposed initiatives should respond to genuine community needs and demonstrate how congregations and charitable organizations will work together. Potential areas include: • Food security: Collaborative efforts to address hunger and improve access to food resources. • Youth development: After school activities, mentoring, youth services and educational enrichment. • Support for vulnerable families: Coordinated assistance that connects families with relevant services and community resources. • Violence prevention and response: Joint work addressing domestic violence and other community safety concerns. • Mental health and well being: Community based support and activities that contribute to individual and family well being. • Homelessness related services: Collaborative approaches that connect people with appropriate support services. • Arts and cultural activities: Initiatives that expand community access to arts, culture and recreational opportunities. • Parks and outdoor recreation: Community beautification, park improvement and activities that strengthen neighbourhood relationships. • Community engagement: Activities that help residents, congregations and local organizations identify priorities and work toward shared solutions. The initiative excludes concepts focused on affordable housing and other property related challenges. Applicants should consult the official Request for Concept Papers for the complete requirements and exclusions. Eligibility Criteria The initiative is not an unrestricted international grant programme. Applicants must meet the relevant United States charitable status and organizational requirements. Potential applicants should meet the following conditions: • Be an eligible charitable organization with qualifying tax exempt public charity status under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. • Have the knowledge and capacity to work effectively with groups of Christian congregations and local charitable organizations. • Be positioned to coordinate or support collaborative programmes addressing community needs. • Demonstrate relevant experience, relationships or capacity for community engagement and partnership development. • Propose a programme aligned with the initiative’s objectives of improving community well being and strengthening congregational vitality. • Identify the community needs the programme will address and explain how participating organizations will collaborate. • Present a realistic concept that can be developed during the planning period and potentially implemented over the proposed programme period. Potentially eligible applicants include national and regional denominational agencies, faith based service organizations, church associations and networks, theological schools, church related colleges and universities, and national or regional community development organizations. Individual churches and local charitable organizations seeking direct funding for their own existing programmes are not eligible to apply independently under this initiative. They may explore participating in a collaborative programme led by an eligible applicant organization. Organizations based outside the United States should not assume that their local nonprofit registration qualifies them. The initiative requires compliance with specific United States charitable status conditions. Required Application Materials Applicants must prepare a concept paper and supporting organizational documents. The materials must be arranged in the order specified by Lilly Endowment and combined into a single PDF for online submission. Required materials include: • Official request letter: A one page letter signed by the organization’s chief executive officer and the chair of its governing board. • Concept Paper
