  HIGHLIGHTS

• Thousands of Grants Around the World, One PurposeFrom the Greek mountain village of Vamvakou to Zambia’s Copperbelt Province, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) has made grants for projects in more than 130 countries.
• The Energy of the Street Meets the Curiosity of the University in the SNF Public Humanities Initiative“Why public humanities? Because they should be public, because the humanities should be available for everyone and not shut away, and not just for those who can pay,” says Mark Mazower, Director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Public Humanities Initiative (SNFPHI) at Columbia University.

For end-stage heart failure, the only curative method of treatment now available is heart transplant, but the significant mismatch between needs and suitable donors means that potential recipients often face a long, uncertain wait.
• Quality Outdoor Public Space, A Need Both Timely and TimelessOutdoor public spaces have always been important, but perhaps never more so than during the months of the pandemic, when they’ve become havens for relaxation, exercise, and escape from the same few rooms we’re spending all our time in.
• Diving into the Work of SafeWaterSportsA little kid floating on a unicorn inflatable in the water makes for a cute image. Unless, of course, you zoom out to find that she’s floating out in the open sea, alone, miles away from the beach and her parents.
• Serving up Groceries—and Solidarity—Across GreeceWhen the lockdown was put in place in Greece a few months ago, the spotlight turned, understandably, to coronavirus patients, people on ventilators, and the doctors and nurses fighting on the medical front lines of the pandemic.
• A People-Powered Approach to Feeding New Yorkers Gets Street Vendors Back to WorkThe Street Vendor Project put New York City street vendors back to work preparing thousands of free meals for communities in Brooklyn and the Bronx facing food insecurity.
