The Hellenic Legacy Fund: Our case for your support
The Greek America Foundation is the host of the Gabby Awards. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded with a simple, yet profound, mission—to “Promote, preserve and perpetuate the Greek culture, history and heritage in America.”—and in the process, to bring together like-minded people to support this cause.
In addition to publishing Greek America Magazine, the foundation has undertaken some impressive projects that have had a significant impact on thousands of people. These include book tours by noted authors, our signature National Innovation Conference, and an exhibition entitled “Defenders of Democracy: The U.S. Response to Greece’s Role in World War II” that has traveled the nation.
Proceeds from the Gabby Awards will benefit another important project of the foundation—the Hellenic Legacy Fund. This endowment fund was founded to award scholarships to university students for study abroad opportunities in Greece.
The Hellenic Legacy Fund awarded its first full-tuition scholarship in the fall semester of 2010. The scholarship offers students the opportunity of a lifetime, giving them a transformative experience, and an opportunity to connect with their heritage during the critical young adult years of 18-26.
The full-semester, academic-based program is unique in Greek America and serves as a method of empowerment for young adults to obtain and experience first-hand the significance of a global experience in the birthplace of Western Civilization. Through this event, and with the financial support of direct contributions, we will seek to build a financial base (an endowment fund) whose annual dividends will be used to fund the scholarships of qualifying Greek Americans.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Greek America Foundation to support this and other worthwhile endeavors.
