Meet our Local Champions!
The Cyclades Preservation Fund is a registered Charity established in October 2017 in the UK to support sustainable initiatives and promote the preservation of the Cyclades. The cornerstone of our mission is to empower local communities and invest in the local environment.
We are a group of Greek and international friends of the ‘Cycladic Islands’ driven by confidence that the Cycladic islands have an incredible opportunity to evolve in a positive way and preserve their unique history, culture and environmental heritage while remaining a global tourist destination.
Our team carefully selects activities, initiatives, and partners that share a common vision to preserve the Cyclades. Our steering committee and advisory council help to select the best of these projects, and once grants have been made we continue to provide support and guidance to our grantees, the ‘local champions’ as we call them , as well as continuing to assess the impact of each grant.
In order to continue to achieve our goals we need supporters who share this common vision.
We encourage those who echo our passion for these special islands, or for the natural environment in general, to join us!
