A Thanksgiving message from Andreas Dracopoulos

Nov 24, 2025

Thanksgiving is an opportunity to say thank you to everyone who makes our lives, and the lives of others, better. This year, as we prepare to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we have more thank yous to say than ever—among others, to each of our more than 3,000 grantee-partners working to create lasting positive change over the years. You inspire us, spur us on, keep us creative, and make us feel very, very grateful. Thank you!

The holiday is also an invitation to recast the obligations each one of us has to our fellow humans as opportunities, during our all-too-short tenure on Earth, to make this world a bit of a better place for everyone. Life is a privilege, and being able to do what we can, together, to contribute to the dignity and wellbeing of others is a privilege too.
On behalf of all of us at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), happy Thanksgiving!
