Finances

Over the last 30 years, the SPP has been managing the financial resources entrusted to it by its donors with absolute transparency and accountability. In accordance with our fundraising strategy, we raise funds from public institutions, governmental agencies and private foundations. We also receive small donations from corporations or private individuals. In the case of public funds, we participate in open calls, whilst in the case of private foundations, calls may be open to all applicants or by invitation only. Received funds are managed transparently and in full accordance with our approved financial procedures.

Furthermore, we fully report to our funders on a regular basis, as required by the terms of the signed contracts for each funding source. Our accountability and transparency policy sets out in meticulous detail all the processes necessary for the fully accountable and efficient management of our fundraising resources. Proper accounting and auditing procedures are necessary to protect the SPP’s assets and to present reliable financial data to our donors. These procedures are designed to ensure that all transactions are carried out based on prescribed approvals and are recorded accurately and in accordance with the Greek accounting standards, while our accounts are independently audited each year.
