  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.
• Bambini Senza Sbarre: Humanizing Connections between Children and Incarcerated ParentsChildren with incarcerated parents should enjoy the same rights as other children. It’s a principle that drives Bambini Senza Sbarre’s work in Italy, and a principle that, thanks in part to their efforts, is now incorporated into policy guidelines across Europe.
• The Teams Helping Get Young New Yorkers through the Pandemic“I cannot wait to get in the gym with my teammates and my coaches,” says Grace Sundback. It’s a particularly challenging time for young people in New York, with school schedules, social lives, and—particularly in underserved communities—support networks upended indefinitely.
• 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.

• 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.
