INTRODUCTION

The Hellenic Initiative is always open to new ideas, and we welcome your input. Every idea submitted should articulate clear social objectives and a compelling strategy to achieve them with THI’s support. Please keep in mind that in relation to the large number of worthwhile submissions we receive, our funds are limited. The Hellenic Initiative supports programs in Greece in the areas of crisis relief and economic development. It does not support individuals, offer academic scholarships, or support film projects and events. We ask that you please submit ideas through this form, and refrain from contacting program officers directly. If we are interested in learning more about your idea, you will hear from us within 30 days.
