GRANT-MAKING PROGRAMMES

The Foundation accepts applications for grants from public-law entities and private-law non-profit entities for the following programmes:

  • The ‘Open Grants Programme’, which accepts applications throughout the year submitted by public entities and non-profit organisations, who must use the Foundation’s dedicated online platform. Details about the submission and evaluation process of proposals are available here. In 2026, Bodosaki Foundation will not prioritize funding requests from individual school units through the resources of the Open Grants Programme, as it actively supports schools and their students through nationwide educational programmes such as the programme for equipping science laboratories in public lower secondary schools across the country, “Experience Science”, and the innovative student Business Administration competition, available to upper secondary schools nationwide, “Young Business Talents”.
  • The ‘Thematic Grants Programme’ is launching thematic calls for funding to address social needs which have been identified as priority action areas for the coming year. In 2025, the Programme was co-funded by the Bodossaki Foundation, the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, and TIMA Charitable Foundation, focusing on the theme of Healthy Ageing. In 2026, the 4th Cycle of the Thematic Grants Programme, titled Safe Together, will be implemented with co-funding from the Bodossaki Foundation and the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, focusing on violence among children. The Programme has a total budget of €200,000, with grants of up to €50,000 per selected project, starting in December 2026 and with an implementation period of 8 to 12 months. Learn more here.

The Foundation also co-ordinates, manages and co-funds grant-making programmes in partnership with third parties. These programmes currently include:
