Bodossaki Foundation
Bodossaki Foundation came into being in 1972 and is today one of Greece’s best-known public benefit foundations. Its establishment was the ultimate offering of its founder, Prodromos-Bodossakis Athanassiades – an offering having its roots in the age-long tradition of charity and social solidarity of Anatolian and Diaspora Greeks. The Foundation works to promote its vision for a society of equal opportunities for all, which enables people to fully realise their potential. Guided by transparency, accountability and credibility, the Foundation organises activities, based on four strategic priority themes: promoting education, improving healthcare, protecting the environment and empowering civil society. The Foundation has intimate knowledge of the non-profit public benefit sector in Greece. From its establishment to this day, it has allocated more than €450 million to furthering its causes, focusing on reducing disparities in opportunities, educating young people and supporting socially vulnerable groups of the population. With a view to further strengthening its impact on society, in the last few years, the Bodossaki Foundation has developed and is pursuing a dynamic fundraising policy and is also active in the management of third-party programmes.
