As part of its ongoing work in Greece, Libra Philanthropies will host its inaugural open event in Athens on May 30, 2025. Over the years, through its Strategic Giving initiative, the organization has supported almost 80 Greek nonprofit organizations and founded two independent Greek-based nonprofits—Envolve Entrepreneurship and WE LEAD.

Building on this long-standing engagement, the upcoming event, titled "Civic Engagement Beyond Voting – Everyday Actions for Change", will explore the power of civic participation in strengthening democracy and promoting collective well-being. The program will feature two panel discussions and a fireside chat, followed by a networking reception with views of the Acropolis.

The first panel, titled "Everyday Civic Engagement – How Individuals and Communities Can Drive Change", will be moderated by Petros Apostolakis, Co-founder of Youth Initiative Greece, freelance journalist, and Policy and Campaign Adviser at the Hellenic Parliament. The session will feature three guest speakers from the nonprofit sector, including representatives fromEcogenia, Vouliwatch, and a participant of the Teens for Democracy program of the Democracy and Culture Foundation, who will share insights on grassroots activism and community-driven change.

The second panel, "Health in Motion – Civic Action & the Future of Public Health", will be moderated by Filia Mitromara—health journalist, Editor-in-Chief at thefashionbible.gr, Editor-in-Chief of the HEALTH & BEAUTY special editions of GLOW magazine, and SEO specialist. This discussion will bring together nonprofits such as Floga Parents Association, GIVMED, and Prolepsis to explore systemic health inequities and the vital role of civic action in building resilient and inclusive public health systems.

The evening will conclude with a fireside chat featuring George M. Logothetis, Executive Chairman of Libra Group and Chairman of Libra Philanthropies, focusing on democratic engagement, leadership ethics, and the responsibility of active citizenship, moderated by Yanni Moutsios, News Anchor at ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation).

As it celebrates the launch of its first Annual Impact Report and prepares to host its inaugural open event in Athens, the organization reaffirms its commitment to uplifting communities, empowering changemakers, and driving sustainable, people-centered impact for years to come.
