--- ## Description The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) is a private, international philanthropic organization that awards grants to nonprofit organizations worldwide. Its funding priorities span four main program areas: arts and culture, education, health and sports, and social welfare. SNF is currently leading a major Global Health Initiative (GHI) to improve healthcare access in multiple countries, but continues to support a wide variety of impactful and sustainable projects. Grants are awarded based on the merits and potential impact of each proposal, with no fixed annual allocation or geographic quotas. SNF emphasizes a transparent, direct application process and does not authorize third parties to assist applicants. All applications are evaluated according to SNF’s established procedures, and the process is free of charge. --- ## Due Dates - Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. - There are no fixed deadlines; you may submit at any time. - SNF reviews each request and aims to complete evaluations within three months of submission. --- ## Funding Amount - There is no minimum or maximum grant amount specified. - Funding levels are determined by the aims, scale, and potential impact of the proposed project. - SNF does not set annual or regional quotas; awards vary widely, from small grants to large-scale, multi-year initiatives. --- ## Eligibility - Only nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply. - Projects must align with at least one of SNF’s four program areas: - Arts and culture - Education - Health and sports - Social welfare - Grants are not made to individuals or for-profit entities. - SNF does not provide scholarships or fellowships directly to individuals. - Organizations may submit a new request only after one year has passed since the previous submission. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted online via the [SNF Grant Portal](https://application.snf.org/). - The process involves: 1.
