True to its priority to assist the most vulnerable and weakened, the SNF’s emergency relief grants aim to address the extensive repercussions of the unprecedented refugee influx in Greece, as well as the significant humanitarian challenges for those remaining in the country’s facilities. The Foundation witnesses the situation on the ground and holds discussions with NGOs that provide critical support on a continuing basis.</p> <p>Since the surge of the crisis in 2015, the SNF has made grants totaling $6,250,000 to provide relief to asylum seekers through support to organizations and civil society efforts in Greece. Recognizing the importance of the complementarity in the impact of both large scale experience and small scale flexibility of organizations in the response to this crisis, the Foundation collaborates with various grantees in its effort to provide infrastructure assistance and critical support. From grassroots volunteer-based organizations, such as <em>Starfish</em>, <em>Organization Earth</em> and <em>Lifeguards Hellas</em>, to established leaders of international aid efforts, such as <em>Doctors Without Borders</em> and the <em>UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)</em>, and to important Greek actors in the field, such as <em>Metadrasi</em> and the <em>Greek Council for Refugees</em>, the Foundation is proud to have partnered with NGOs making an immediate and substantial impact.
