About Libra Global Philanthropies Foundation
Libra Global Philanthropies focuses on providing sizeable general operating support to organizations that advance entrepreneurship, leadership development (especially for women), and nonprofit capacity — with an international tilt that includes a Greece-based affiliate. Grants are few and large, aimed at sustaining core operations rather than project-specific funding.

About Libra Global Philanthropies Foundation
A defining feature of Libra Global Philanthropies Foundation Inc is its pattern of large, unrestricted support for organizations tied to entrepreneurship, women’s leadership, and nonprofit capacity. In the 2025 filing year, that included a $563,968 general operating grant to Libra Philanthropies Greece Amke in Athens and a $375,000 general operational grant to Seleni House Foundation Inc in New York. The foundation also backs affiliate and partner organizations that appear to serve as platforms for broader program work, including Impact Entrepreneurship Award Ltd in Nicosia and Entrepreneurship Award Corp in New York. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving often appears designed to keep organizations functioning rather than to fund a single short-term project. Several awards are labeled general operating support or general operational expenses, and those grants are paired with capacity-building purposes such as infrastructure, implementation, and internal support. Its portfolio also reaches into leadership development, public diplomacy, education, health-related support, and civic engagement, with grants made to organizations in the United States, Greece, Cyprus, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Uganda, Serbia, and Panama.
What Libra Global Philanthropies Foundation Funds
Women’s leadership is one of the clearest threads in the portfolio. Libra Global Philanthropies Foundation Inc gave $194,326 to Welead in Athens to support general operational expenses, and the existing program taxonomy also points to leadership development as a recurring theme. Entrepreneurship is another emphasis. The foundation awarded $242,428 to Impact Entrepreneurship Award Ltd in Nicosia and $215,000 to Entrepreneurship Award Corp in New York, both for general operational expenses. Education and student support appear in multiple forms. In one grant, it gave $100,000 to One to World in New York for enrichment programs for international students and workshops for underresourced K–12 students. It also awarded $100,000 to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the Philippe A. Embiricos fellowship in ocean engineering. Health-related support shows up as well, including a $100,000 grant to David Lynch Foundation in 2023 for meditation services for veterans with PTSD and women and girls who are survivors of violence.
