Committed to its vision and within the context of its initiatives against the Greek economic crisis, Stavros Niarchos Foundation has announced 88 new grants amounting to 26.8 million euros, aiming to support non-profit organizations and programs, whose activities have the potential to bring about tangible changes and provide for growth and long-term development of communities and their members. The 88 approved grants pertain to the Foundation’s four basic program areas: Arts and Culture, Education, Health and Sports, and Social Welfare. Many of the new grants are part of the Foundation’s three year €100 million initiative against the crisis in Greece, which has been completed, as well as part of the additional €100 million initiative aimed at addressing the high rate of youth unemployment and creating new opportunities for the country’s younger generations.   
Andreas Dracopoulos, Co-President of The Board of Directors of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, stated: “Through this new cycle of grants, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation bolsters its efforts in support of our fellow citizens who are trying to cope with today’s challenges, while at the same time supports the new generation, whose achievements will lead us all to a better tomorrow”.
