The nomination window for the 2026 EuroHockey Institute Solidarity Grants is now open.
The Institute
The EuroHockey Institute is designed to encourage, promote, develop and support the strategic growth of hockey in Europe at all levels. EuroHockey do this by sharing knowledge through teaching, mentoring and facilitating the correct programmes and environments to maximise understanding and implementation.
The Solidarity Grant
- The EuroHockey Institute Solidarity Grant is an opportunity for member national associations to access up to €2,000 to work on a national project.
- EuroHockey is limited in the number of grants it is able to award each year so we encourage national associations to take their time in writing their application, ensuring that it has a clear strategic focus and will lead to a sustainable legacy beyond the length of the grant.
- For the 2026 grants, focus will be placed on applications which are aimed towards organisational strategy development, youth programmes, club development and officiating pathways.
- This year, EuroHockey and the selection group will look for projects that are well-thought out, strategic and, where possible, align with the priorities of your sports ministries and National Olympic Committees.
- EuroHockey will work with successful member national associations on their project and consider the resources and timetable needed to achieve its goals.
The deadline for applications is 1st February at 17:00 CET.
All nominations should be submitted by the National Association on the EuroHockey Portal – link to portal
