About Athina I. Martinou Foundation

Athina I. Martinou Foundation gives in Greece with a clear preference for projects tied to the sea, islands, and coastal communities, alongside broader support for social welfare, health, education, culture, and the environment. Its giving combines larger institutional grants with targeted small-scale support, and it also runs a signature scholarship program for Merchant Marine Academy students, especially those facing socio-economic barriers. The foundation appears especially interested in practical, community-based initiatives that strengthen local island life, protect marine environments, and build opportunity in maritime education.

Giving Approach

Mixed giving model: open grantmaking for nonprofits, annual scholarship awards, and smaller 'Support Points' grants for local initiatives. General grants do not go below €10,000, while scholarships cover living expenses across the academic year; some opportunities are annual and publicly posted, while other support appears more programmatic or targeted.
