Ways To Give
We give to honor our Hellenic heritage and ensure its legacy endures. Your gift helps preserve Greek heritage, celebrate achievement, and fund meaningful programs that strengthen community and inspire future generations.
Sponsoring an Elios Scholar for the NHS Heritage Greece Program® with a donation of $3,500 will provide a Greek American college student with the opportunity to spend two weeks immersed in Greek culture. Designed to deepen connections with their heritage, language, and traditions, students learn language skills, travel to important archeological sites, and earn one fully transferable credit.
Online giving is a secure and convenient way to support Elios Charitable Foundation. You can give by ACH (with no fees), credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or Venmo, and consider covering the transaction fees to maximize your impact. Wire transfers are also accepted.
