“We believe in equal opportunities for everyone when it comes to access to education, entrepreneurship and housing. For this reason, as there are still socio-economic barriers which prevent this access to many future leaders, we have decided to start this Initiative to create opportunities for the less privileged.
We are committed to support areas such as education, housing and entrepreneurship. We hope that our contribution will be a steppingstone to make a meaningful change.
We are focused on practical and implementable results. Those that can be measured in ways beyond numbers.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. George Mountis
Chairman, Board"

Scholarship
We offer scholarships to students with outstanding performance who want to pursue Real Estate Management related studies at an accredited University in Greece or in Cyprus. We also give grants to exceptionally performing students who applied for a master’s degree in Real Estate, at an accredited University in Greece or Cyprus.
Donations
Our foundation relies heavily on the generosity of individuals, companies and community service groups. It helps restore hope, dignity, and stability in our community by recycling donated furniture and housewares, for free, to people in need. Our secondary goal is to keep these items out of the waste stream. We expect to furnish the homes of 10 low income families every year with furniture or furniture in good working condition saved from being disposed.
Entrepreneurship
The Entrepreneur Challenge/Competition will support student who aspire to become entrepreneurs by providing them with advice and tools to successfully create and/ or grow their businesses. This includes bringing in distinguished guest speakers for events, hosting workshops and other activities which will encourage entrepreneurial real estate ventures.
Affordable Housing Project
With our Partners we are working on building a multifamily, sustainable housing solution for the less privileged.
