The Onassis Foundation is a global non-profit organization based in Athens, Greece, established in 1975 in accordance with the will of Aristotle Onassis to honor the memory of his son, Alexander Onassis. Driven by the belief that education, culture, and health are the pillars of a thriving society, the Foundation designs and supports initiatives that empower individuals, foster creativity, and drive social progress. At its core, Onassis acts as a catalyst for ideas — shaping and shaking society through bold discussions, artistic innovation, and transformative learning. Its ecosystem includes the Onassis Stegi cultural center in Athens, which serves as a hub for contemporary art, performance, and thought, as well as the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, one of Greece’s most significant philanthropic contributions to public health. Over the years, the Foundation has provided thousands of scholarships, supported groundbreaking artistic projects, and created platforms for dialogue and experimentation that connect Greece to the world. Today, the Onassis Foundation continues to champion the spirit of progress, collaboration, and social impact - investing in people and ideas that redefine what’s possible.
