The Hellenic Initiative was founded in 2012 by members of the global Greek and philhellene communities who were compelled to respond to the worsening economic crisis and inspire.d to help shape Greece’s long-term recovery. Their Board is united around three core beliefs:

First, they are committed to Greece, faults and all. And they are dedicating their time, resources and networks to secure a different future.

Second, this is about investment, not handouts. They are focused on impact and outcomes, whether it’s a grant to a nonprofit organization, mentorship for an emerging entrepreneur, or investment in a small business. What matters is impact, not effort.

Third, they do not have all the answers. But they know that across the global community they have what it takes to create a 21st century powerhouse, both within Greece and across the diaspora.
