The Hellenic Initiative (THI) raised a spectacular USD $2 million+ at its Ninth Annual Fundraising Gala that took place on Saturday, December 4, 2021. The Hellenic Initiative is the leading nonprofit uniting the Greek diaspora and philhellenes internationally and raises awareness and capital for Greece. Held at Cipriani Wall Street, the Gala was back in person and streamed online to an international audience after last year’s virtual-only event.
The event was organized both online and live, bringing together expatriates in an atmosphere of optimism for the course of the Greek economy and attracting large investments but also for highlighting concerns about the uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
Entitled “We are moving forward together”, the “Initiative” now aims to contribute to the shaping of the future of Greece. In the nine years of the organization it has managed to raise 18 million dollars which have been allocated to support business and charitable projects, as well as to relieve vulnerable groups in our country, which was tested this year by the summer fires and the ongoing strain on the health system due to COVID- 19.
The Hellenic Initiative was founded in 2012 when Greece found itself in the midst of an unprecedented economic crisis with deep societal upheavals, which led expatriates and philhellenes from the Diaspora to realize that they had to find the right path to help materially and morally.
