Initiatives
Encompassing more than 25 constituent projects, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Health Initiative (GHI) aims to expand access to health services, strengthen quality of care for all, and empower providers on the front lines. The Initiative, whose budget exceeds $750 million, is carried out with exclusive support from SNF and based on wide-ranging collaborations in Greece and worldwide.
The grantmaking activity of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) extends all across Greece and around the world. But the Greek region of Laconia holds a special connection with SNF as the ancestral homeland of SNF’s Founder, Stavros Niarchos.
More than a year has passed since major fires in northern Evia destroyed thousands of acres of forest. Along with the natural wealth of the forest, which acted as a green lung for the region, an inexhaustible toll of losses was taken by fire: houses, animals, and crops burned too. In an area where the forest is inextricably linked to all aspects of inhabitants’ lives, the economic and psychological effects have been profound.
Outreach
We know that when people come together, incredible, often surprising, things happen: ideas blossom, productive connections are formed, and we’re inspired and invigorated to make change. Our annual SNF Nostos celebration and ongoing SNF Dialogues events are open opportunities for people of all interests and backgrounds to convene around a timely theme and enjoy a shared experience.
SNF Nostos is an international, multidimensional festival bursting with avant-garde art, scintillating conversation, daring ideas, irresistible music, moving dance, delightful performances, participatory entertainment, and lively sports activities for visitors of all ages.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Dialogues aim to develop new ways of thinking, build bridges of cooperation, and encourage creative public dialogue across geographic, social, and cultural boundaries.
