Mapping of Donors Active in the International Youth Sector

It offers an in-depth overview of the most important characteristics of donor engagement with the international youth sector and the youth sectors of different regions. It also provides information
about both grant-making and operational programs that support young people’s initiatives. “Mapping of Donors” includes many organizations presented
in IYS but focuses more narrowly, providing more in-depth information
on their activities as donors or as sources of financing in support of youth initiatives. On the one hand, it complements IYS, on the other, it goes beyond the earlier mapping by also presenting information on other members of the relevant donor community not covered in that study.
