Benefits for associations
Operating grant
AYY’s operating grant is intended to support the continuous activities of associations. All associations in AYY’s association register may apply for the operating grant in accordance with the following terms: an association must have an open membership policy and at least 60% but no less than ten of the association members entitled to vote are members of AYY,
Applications are scored using the scoring model for operating grants. In 2024, the application period was 17.-31.5.2024.
An application for the operating grant consists of a completed application form and the required appendices. In addition, you will also need to submit documents from the previous operating year (financial statements, annual report), documents from the current year, which guide operations (action plan, budget, list of current officials), and valid bylaws. The association must also have a username and password for the TAHLO system, and an up-to-date association profile on AYY website.
