Erasmus+ Funding Strategy

The right Key Action for your organisation's profile, specific needs and goals.

How it Works

We review your organisation's profile, map it against every Key Action, and deliver a clear roadmap before you apply.

Discover

Your Organisation

We start with your organisation's profile, experience, goals and the real factors that determine what your elegibility options.

  • Organisation type, sector and prior EU project experience.
  • Available co-funding, staff capacity and realistic timeline.
  • Strategic priorities and target beneficiary groups.
  • Existing partnerships or accreditation status.

We test your profile against the real requirements of each Key Action and where you'd actually be competitive.

  • Eligibility check against each Key Action's applicant criteria.
  • Grant ceiling and budget range compared to your goals.
  • Competition level and realistic chances by call and country.
  • Sequencing logic — which action to apply for, and when.

Recommended Key Actions

Now

KA152-YOU — Youth Exchanges

Lower administrative burden and no consortium track record required. With no prior EU project experience and a small part-time team, this is the realistic first step — it builds evaluator credibility and a delivered-project reference before applying for anything larger.

Next

KA210 — Small-Scale Partnerships

Once a completed KA152-YOU project is on record, apply for KA210 to formalise a small, focused partner network. The smaller budget ceiling and simpler reporting requirements suit an organisation still building administrative capacity for EU-funded projects.

Later

KA220 — Cooperation Partnerships

With 2–3 completed projects and an established partner network, KA220 becomes realistic for larger-scale, longer-term funding. By this stage the organisation should have the track record and reporting capacity that evaluators expect at this level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Erasmus+ Fudning Strategy service — before you get started.

What do I need to send you to get started?

You do not need a draft proposal — this service is for organisations who have not started writing yet. We just need a short profile of your organisation: sector, prior EU project experience, available co-funding and staff capacity, and your general goals. We will send you a short form to fill in once you get in touch.

How is this different from the free Eligibility Checker or a free consultation call?

The Eligibility Checker and a free consultation give you a quick, informal indication of which Key Action might fit. Funding Strategy is a full written document — a Key Action recommendation with reasoning, a realistic view of your chances, a budget band, and a suggested timeline, referenced against the official Programme Guide. It is built to be shared with a board, director, or funding committee, not just talked through on a call.

Will you tell me exactly which Key Action to apply for?

Yes. You receive a clear recommendation, not a list of options to weigh yourself. Where more than one Key Action could realistically work, we will explain the trade-offs and recommend a sequence — for example, applying for a smaller-scale action first to build a track record before a larger one.

What if I already think I know which Key Action fits?

That is a common starting point, and still worth checking. We will test your assumption against the actual eligibility rules, your realistic chances, and your budget — and confirm it in writing if it holds up, or flag a stronger alternative if it does not.

What if my organisation is weighing several project ideas or partner countries?

Let us know when you get in touch. Most organisations have a single, fairly clear profile, which the fixed fee covers. If you are genuinely weighing several distinct ideas or a more complex consortium setup, we will flag that upfront before starting, so there are no surprises.

What format is the strategy document delivered in?

You receive a structured written document in Word or PDF format, covering your recommended Key Action, reasoning, timeline, budget band and Programme Guide references.

Do you use AI to write the strategy?

Our Funding Strategy documents are written by an experienced Erasmus+ specialist — not generated by AI. Every recommendation is based on expert judgement and direct knowledge of the programme rules. We may use AI tools to support research or formatting, but every document you receive is reviewed, written and signed off by a human expert.
