“Capital Link Awards are all about investments.  We, at the Onassis Foundation, have been investing in Education, Culture, Health, Social Solidarity and the Environment, for the last 40 years.  In line with our founder’s, Aristotle Onassis’ mentality, the Foundation selects the recipient of every donation by evaluating carefully the development potential and the pragmatic needs of each case.

We invest in society and aim to release its potential.  We invest in thousands of scholarships, in the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, in the Onassis Cultural Centres, both in Athens and New York, with their artistic and educational programs, in Primary and Secondary Education, in Special Education, even in poetry, with the Kavafy Archive. All these programs are funded exclusively by the profits of our business investments.   We invest in innovation. We invest in particular in Shipping, continuing Aristotle Onassis’ tradition and entrepreneurial insightful view.  Likewise, in the Onassis Foundation, we adopt a forward looking approach, aiming to help Greece become what it really deserves to be.  So that we as Greeks project the image of Greece we envision”.
