Leventis Foundation
Company Description
The Anastasios G. Leventis Foundation, which is a branch of the A. G. Leventis Foundation, was established in 1980, two years after the death of Anastasios G. Leventis. The Foundation was endowed with the transference to it of all the properties of the late Anastasios G. Leventis in Cyprus. It is also supported by an important annual contribution from the A. G. Leventis Foundation.
Recently the Foundation bought and restored a neoclassical house in Gladstonos Street to serve as the headquarters of the Foundation in Cyprus. In this way the Foundation rescued three important specimens of neoclassical architecture of the early 20th century in Nicosia, the other two heing that of the Archaeologiccil Research Unit of the University of Cyprus and that of the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia.
The Foundation restricts its activities to Cyprus, and specializes in the preservation and promotion of the historic and cultural resources of the island. Social welfare projects also fall within its domain.
The purview of the A. G. Leventis Foundation is very broad; it encompasses preservation of the natural environment, agricultural and technical education in West Africa, the granting of scholarships, financing of publications, the restoration, preservation and promotion of the wealth of Hellenic civilization in Creece, Cyprus and elsewhere as well as the promotion of activities for social welfare. Hundreds of Greeks and Cypriots have been educated at foreign universities. In recent years scholarships have been granted exclusively for post-graduate studies abroad and at the University of Cyprus, and numerous grantees have obtained post-graduate diplomas. The Foundation thus contributes decisively to the intellectual training of those who will play a leading role in education and science in Cyprus and abroad.
The Foundation contributes in various ways to the promotion and enhancement of the contemporary artistic scene in Cyprus. It also endorses the endeavours of other organizations on behalf of the cultural and scientific development of the island, furthering the vision of the creator of the Foundation.
The Foundation has focussed its activities on the culture and civilization of Cyprus in the belief that knowledge and exploitation of the cultural heritage of the island constitute a firm foundation for the future and for the preservation of the historic identity of Cyprus, particularly during the unfavourable times following the Turkish invasion of 1974.
