Greeks Helping Greeks

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 About THI The Hellenic Initiative (THI) is a global, nonprofi t, secular institution mobilizing the Greek Diaspora and Philhellene community to support sustainable economic recovery and renewal for Greece and its people. Our programs address crisis relief through strong nonprofi t organizations, led by heroic Greeks that are serving their country. They also build capacity in a new generation of heroes, the business leaders and entrepreneurs with the skills and values to promote the long term growth of Hellas.

THI Vision / Mission Statement Investing in the future of Greece through direct philanthropy and economic revitalization.

We empower people to provide crisis relief, encourage entrepreneurs, and create jobs.

We are The Hellenic Initiative (THI) – a global movement of the Greek Diaspora

About the Cover Featuring the faces of our ReGeneration Interns. We, the members of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, wish to express to all of you, the supporters and friends of The Hellenic Initiative, our deepest gratitude for the trust and support you have given to our organization for the past seven years.

Our mission is simple, to connect the Diaspora with Greece in ways which are valuable for Greece, and valuable for the Diaspora.

One of the programs you will read about in this report is THI’s ReGeneration Program. In just 5 years since we launched ReGeneration, with the support of the Coca-Cola Co. and the Coca-Cola Foundation and 400 hiring partners, we have put over 1100 people to work in permanent well-paying jobs in Greece. Most importantly we have witnessed the power of Greece’s most valuable asset, its human capital.

We have big plans for ReGeneration and next year we will launch something more ambitious in order to further nurture the creative, entrepreneurial spirit that exists in Greece.

Our affiliated chapters in Australia, Canada and the UK are also making a difference through their own vibrant fundraising efforts and volunteer programs.

Thanks to the growing support of Diaspora Greeks and Philhellenes around the world our efforts not only help people in need but help keep Greeks in Greece.

The crisis may be “officially” over, but the effects of it will last for years to come. As we continue our mission of investing, empowering, and encouraging, we invite you to join us. Together we can reverse the brain drain and create a brain gain.

THI Donates to the Greek Fire Fighting Service and Wildfire Relief Fund

Wildfires raged once again this summer in Greece, but one year ago, when Greece experienced the worst disaster in its modern history, THI stepped in to help. Over 100 people lost their lives and many more were injured in the fires that devastated Mati and nearby Kokkino Limanaki near Athens last in 2018. THI respond- ed by launching an online fundraising campaign with our friends Nia Vardalos and John Stamos and made a special appeal at our 2018 NY Gala. Thanks to the generous support of over 548 donors The Hellenic Initiative was able to raise over $200,000 USD. Your contributions allowed us to provide immediate relief to the communities affected. In addition, we were able to support local firefighters by providing state of the art firefighting equipment to prevent anything similar from happening again.

Immediate Relief In August, 2018, IOCC and Apostoli, the philanthropic arm of the Church of Greece, employed THI funds to purchase and deliver 150 new trash bins to the municipality of Rafina-Pikermi in Greece. These bins replaced the ones that were destroyed by intense heat and flames. Delivering these bins on time was a call THI answered after meeting with the Mayor of Rafina-Pikermi and it allowed city crews to resume waste collection while making the cleanup for many residents a lot easier.

Donation to the Greek Fire Fighting Service THI has ordered an off- road 4×4 vehicle equipped with specially designed firefighting capabilities. THI will request this vehi- cle to be stationed at the area affected by last year’s wildfires in particular near and around the Lyreion Orphanage.

Antonis H. Diamataris Long Time Friend, Ready to Ramp Up THI’s Relationship with Greece

Antonis H. Diamataris had been Publisher of the Ethnikos Kirix – The National Herald – for 40 years before he was appoint- ed by new Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis as Deputy Foreign Minister with Responsibility for Greeks Abroad. As a publisher and prominent member of the Greek-American community he was in a position to share with other leaders what he learned about THI. He was also pleased to be able to spread the word through the articles about what THI was doing for Greece and its people. The coverage helped build a knowledge foundation in the United States and Canada which helped THI develop and expand its reach. Mr. Diamataris immediately grasped the importance of THI’s mission. “As Publisher of The National Herald my daily concern was to help and promote as best I could the relationship between the Greek-American community and “I want to emphasize once again that THI has Greece, especially during the crisis years,” he said during a THI visit offered substantial services to Greece, but to the Foreign Ministry, across the working with someone in the government like street from the Parliament building. “First let me express my hap- myself who has lived in America 50 years and piness and gratitude to the people is familiar with its people and its circumstances, who conceived the idea and or- ganized The Hellenic Initiative in THI will be able to contribute even more.” support of issues relating to Greece, most importantly in the financial –Antonis Diamataris and business sector, and espe- cially for what they do to inspire, help, and give hope to the younger generation.” He explained that “it pained Executive Director Mark Arey, and has lived in America for 50 years me that the ‘organized’ Diaspora that continues with Peter Poulos. and is familiar with its people and would not or could not do more, so Noting that in his new capacity its circumstances, THI will be able that when THI was established, with he can do more, he added, “I want to contribute even more regarding the kinds and quality of people who to say that we and the new govern- whatever issues and areas I can were involved, I saw that it could de- ment of Greece, which is pro-busi- help with, and if I can bring the velop into something important, and ness and pro-West, are here to work leaders and administrators of THI it did.

109 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

110 Inspired by the growing excitement over the celebration of Greece’s upcoming Bicentennial, we have created The 1821 Society as a unique body of individuals within the THI family.

1821 Society members make an annual financial gift to support the work of THI. Gifts may be paid all at once or monthly.

1821 marks the year that Hellenes began the military campaign to gain their independence from the Ottoman Empire. With help from the Diaspora and Philhellenes, that independence was achieved.

The 1821 Society is a new ‘Philiki Eteria’, the secret society founded in 1814 that helped struggling Hellenes establish modern Greece.

The current financial crisis in Greece has led to both struggles and opportunities similar to those faced by our ancestors.

Please join us, as a member of the 1821 society, honoring the memory of our ancestors, and helping pull Greece out of its current crisis by helping those building a New Greece.

Members’ generous contributions invest in the startups that have begun to make the world notice and sustain the organizations and NGOs that are making an impact on the ground in Greece, funding programs throughout the calendar year.

To learn more about the 1821 Society and how you can become a member, please visit
