About GREEK AMERICA CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION INC

The Greek America Cultural and Educational Foundation (Greek America Foundation) is an active 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in New York that advances Hellenic culture, education and philanthropy across North America and in Greece. This profile was prepared after verifying the organization’s EIN (81-1672793) against public tax and nonprofit registries and the foundation’s own website.

The foundation runs cultural programs (the Gabby Awards, Forty Under 40), education initiatives (Semester in Athens scholarships, Greek America Corps volunteer program, study/internship collaborations) and philanthropic campaigns supporting vulnerable populations in Greece (Project Hope for Greece and grants to Greek charities). It operates an active events and fundraising calendar and maintains ongoing partnerships with educational and corporate partners to place students in internships and scholarship programs.

In the last 2–3 years the foundation has continued signature activities — large fundraising events and awards ceremonies, youth and scholarship programs, and targeted grants to Greek charities — demonstrating ongoing program activity and donor-facing operations.
