The EU offers a range of funding options and support for a wide range of projects. The main forms of financing are various grants and subsidies, loans, guarantees, venture capital investments and acquisitions. The European Commission's Types of funding page, which can be found on the EU Financial Advice page, provides more information on the forms of funding.

EU programmes offer different types of funding or combinations of them. The pages of the programmes contain information on the funding mechanisms of the programme in question.
