Makd a donation today and support the Greek council of refugees
The Greek Council for Refugees relies on corporate and foundation sponsorships, individual donations, and membership subscriptions to carry out its work. Your donation can change the lives of the people we help every day.
Since 1989, we have supported over 151,700 refugees and asylum seekers. Every week, around 300 refugees walk through our door. These people are victims of war, persecution, human trafficking, violence, and torture. They came to our country because they had no other choice. It is our duty to help them continue their lives with dignity. In this effort, we need you by our side.
We commit to directing your donation to those who need it the most, and as part of our transparent operations, you will be informed about the results of our work as well as our financial data.
Your support can make a difference for people who are in absolute need.
