ΑΤΗΕΝS On February 17, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) informed the Hellenic Sailing Federation (EIO) by letter of its decision to cancel the remaining balance of its grant to the Federation, effective immediately.
SNF’s decision is in no way intended to penalize the grant’s direct beneficiaries, the people with disabilities who take part in the sailing program. Recognizing the importance of the program and with a sense of responsibility toward its beneficiaries, SNF intends to act transparently to reallocate the remaining balance of the grant directly to local sailing clubs throughout Greece to allow the program to continue without interruption. The Foundation will immediately explore alternative ways of implementing the program, with the ultimate goal of best serving participants.

The Hopkins Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, which was established in 1916, is the oldest program of its kind in the nation.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute hosted a student forum titled “Closing the Civilian-Military Divide” on Feb. 10. During the event, panelists discussed misconceptions about the U.S. military with Hopkins students.
The panel featured Grace Park, a visiting Agora research fellow and former U.S. Army captain, and Lieutenant Colonel Angelique Pifer, an Army strategic intelligence officer and current professor of Military Science for the Hopkins Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC).
Park highlighted that the Agora decided to host the event after observing the public’s misconceptions about the military, namely due to its role in domestic civil unrest.
