The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) was established in 1996 to honor Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos (1909–1996). Niarchos was one of the world's largest transporters of oil and owned the largest supertanker fleet of his time.[2]

The foundation's board of directors includes:
- Philip Niarchos, co-president (son of Stavros Niarchos)
- Spyros Niarchos, co-president (son of Stavros Niarchos)
- Andreas Dracopoulos, co-president (great-nephew of Stavros Niarchos)[3]

Since 1996, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation has provided more than 4,700 grants totaling more than $3 billion to non-profit agencies.[4]
In 2012, in response to the socio-economic crisis in Greece, SNF announced a grant initiative of additional $130 million (€100 million) over three years to help ease the adverse effects of the deepening crisis. A new initiative, Recharging the Youth, was announced in 2013 to help create new opportunities for Greece's younger generations and committed an additional $130 million (€100 million).[5] Upon the completion of the first phase of the program against the Greek Crisis, a second phase was introduced in June 2015, announcing the allocation of another $112 million (€100 million), intensifying the efforts against the ongoing crisis in Greece and providing immediate support to the most vulnerable groups of society.[6]
SNF announced a $100 million global initiative to help alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.[7]
In 2022 SNF announced the Global Health Initiative, a $1 billion project aiming to strengthen physical and mental health by carrying out infrastructure projects, procurement of equipment, funding training and partnerships and supporting science, technology and innovation in the health sector.[8]
