The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) has announced a new round of grants in its $100 million global relief initiative to help alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This third round brings the total allocated to $61.5 million and places particular emphasis on supporting expert organizations working collaboratively to address challenges tied to the pandemic’s socio-economic impact.
Twenty grants totaling more than $2.75 million, as part of the Foundation’s 100 million global COVID-19 relief initiative, focus on helping avoid educational shortfalls for academically vulnerable students, supporting new and creative food distribution structures, offering psychological support and emergency relief to especially affected groups, and ensuring the future of smaller theaters and artist residency programs.
“It’s now more important than ever that we stay the course in combatting COVID-19 and working to the best of our ability to alleviate its ongoing impact,” said SNF Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos. “Even as fatigue sets in with the limitations the pandemic has imposed, its effects are expanding and deepening around the globe. SNF is focused on collaborating with our grantee partners to implement the pandemic relief grants we’ve made so far and continued our support in key areas. We’re deeply grateful to these organizations for the essential work they’re doing, and their commitment to being there for the long haul.”
