Ungdommenes disposisjonsfond

Ungdommenes disposisjonsfond (Youth Discretionary Fund) was established by the municipal council starting from the 2025 budget year. The fund has an annual allocation of 50,000 NOK and applications are processed by the youth council. The fund aims to strengthen youth participation, engagement and activity in Engerdal municipality, with funding available for initiatives and projects organized by or for young people aged 13-25 years. Applications can be submitted throughout the year. The purpose of the fund is to promote well-being and inclusion among youth, stimulate activity, creativity and civic engagement, and give young people the opportunity to realize their own ideas. Examples of eligible activities include events, concerts, courses and workshops, equipment for activities, youth-led projects or campaigns, social meeting places, inclusion or prevention initiatives, and training and skills development for youth. The fund does not support regular operations of associations and organizations, salaries or fees to individuals, or initiatives that conflict with the municipality's core values. Applications must include a project description with details of the initiative, target group, budget and implementation plan.
