24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) today announced the results of Deloitte’s analysis of the Initiative Against the Greek Crisis, a three-year, $130 million ( 100 million) grant program funded by the Foundation, announced in early 2012, in order to help alleviate the adverse effects of the socioeconomic crisis in Greece.

The philanthropic program’s support was distributed through more than 220 grants to nonprofit organizations over a period of almost three years.

More than 470,000 people benefited from the grant program, including the following: Children and Youth (individuals from 5 to 25 years old in a vulnerable situation); Adults (vulnerable individuals older than 25); Elders (senior citizens either in a vulnerable socioeconomic situation or having reached an age that makes them vulnerable); Families and Caregivers (households and families below the poverty level or from other vulnerable groups); Immigrants and Refugees (foreign individuals seeking asylum or having a limited residence permit); People with Special Needs/Disabilities (individuals with severe mental or physical disabilities that make them vulnerable or socially excluded or in need of healthcare services); People with Chronic Diseases or Addictions (individuals who suffer from chronic or terminal diseases, substance addictions and may be in need of healthcare services).

While the Initiative against the Greek Crisis has come to a close, the Foundation continues its grant-making activities in the fields of Social Welfare, Health & Sports, Education and Arts & Culture, while simultaneously focusing its attention on a new philanthropic initiative entitled Recharging the Youth, a program also totaling $130 million ( 100 million), which is aimed at combating the alarmingly high youth unemployment rate in Greece.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (www.SNF.org) is one of the world’s leading private international philanthropic organizations, making grants in the areas of arts and culture, education, health and sports, and social welfare.

From 1996 until today, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation has approved grant commitments of $1.57 billion / 1.20 billion, through 2,823 grants to nonprofit organizations in 111 nations around the world.

100,000 grant helps Rugby Town JFC refurbish new club house – Take Part | The FA

A 100,000 grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund helped Rugby Town JFC to open a new clubroom last week.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan was present at the club’s Kilsby Lane home to cut the ribbon on the refurbished facility, which now features kitchen and bar facilities, a projector for team briefings and coach education sessions and a lounge area.

And the club, which runs 52 boys and girls teams, will now work closely with the Birmingham FA to deliver a wide range of FA coach education courses at the site, which also hosts 11 grass pitches.

In addition to the new clubroom, the club will also extend the existing car park, purchase new pitch maintenance equipment and create two junior real grass pitches with proper drainage systems.

The club worked in partnership with the Birmingham FA to secure the grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund.

RACINE Julian Thomas Elementary School has received a $143 grant to purchase materials that will focus on integrating science and social studies into math concepts from The Meemic Foundation, a nonprofit organization created by Meemic Insurance Co. She will make use of learning aids, such as manipulatives, books that are at their ability level and interest level, materials to create cross-curricular and hands-on activities that can be done in small groups or one-on-one with the special education teacher.

“Exceptional educators are always looking for new and creative ways to inspire their students and we want to make sure that financial concerns don’t stand in the way of those ideas,” said Roy Hinz, community advocacy administrator for the Meemic Foundation. “The goal of Meemic Foundation grants is to provide the resources necessary for teachers to create a dynamic learning environment for students that not only educates the children but inspires them as well.”

Grant applications are evaluated based on a variety of criteria that are provided on The Meemic Foundation website. The Foundation looks to fund innovative programs, events or projects that will significantly enhance students’ classroom experiences in all educational settings including public, private, parochial and charter schools as well as colleges and universities.

The Meemic Foundation has been offering financial assistance in the form of grants to schools and educators for more than 20 years. What began as a college scholarship program has expanded into a Foundation that has touched more than 1.5 million students through its financial support of education initiatives.

Meemic provided grants to various Wisconsin schools to enhance the education experience for their students.
