up to us!
Up to us! is our special micro-support for you who are 13-25 years old and want to do activities in the countryside.
We believe that young people know best what young people need!
What would you do for 20,000 kronor?
Are you between 13 and 25 years old and want to organize an activity for other young people? It can be to fix a place to hang out, organize ”try it out” days or different types of events. You might want to start a dog club, invite to a clothing swap day or arrange epa meetings? Then you can apply for our micro-support ”Up to us!”, because it is actually you who knows best what would make the place where you live a little more fun for young people!
When you have convinced at least one friend (or your association) that you should start your own project, you can apply for money from us. Quite a lot of money, even. We're talking up to 20,000 kronor!
We help to brainstorm the idea and apply for money
It is not difficult to apply for money from us. You are welcome to contact us and brainstorm the idea first. You can also try to fill out the application directly. We will let you know if there is something you need to develop further or if you have missed something!
Within a few weeks you will know if you get the money from us. If it's a yes, you will need to sign a contract. You will also receive a handbook from us that states what rules apply and what you need to do as a project leader. You will learn a lot of new things - and get something new for your CV as a bonus!

Café, disco ball & youth camp
But what have others done then? Fun that you ask! Previously, we have had projects that have received support for, among other things: trying to run a summer café, building a disc golf course, organizing LAN, inviting to youth camps, starting football training on artificial grass, renting a venue for movie and game nights, touring with music bands, organizing discos, doing exchanges with other young people, organizing horse clinics at the riding club and agility training in an indoor hall. Wilhelm in the picture here next to has, for example, organized a disco for Musikhjälpen with his School-IF in Moheda).
You can hear for yourselves – there are all sorts of things you can do! The best thing is probably to figure out what you would think is the most fun to do. Remember that you cannot apply for the money afterwards – apply before you start!
Call or email us!
If you want to tell us about your idea, get help applying for money from us or have any questions, just reach out to Emilie. If you like talking on the phone, call us, if it's easier to email, do that, and if you just have a quick question, it's just as fine to send a text or a message on Insta. You choose!

Are you finished?
If you have received a yes from us and are finished with the project, it is time to gather all the receipts, read through the handbook one more time and fill out an accounting form. We want to receive that in order to be able to pay out the money – and of course, we would also like to know how everything has worked!
If you have pictures that we can share on social media, feel free to send them in as well.
