Published February 12, 2026, 09:40

The ENA Foundation, an initiative by entrepreneur Tasos Papanastasiou and Christiana Panagi, has completed its first year of operation, aiming for long-term social change through investments in people and projects. Mr. Papanastasiou emphasizes that success gains value when shared and that the Foundation was born out of the need to support people with dreams who need an opportunity. During its first year, the Foundation focused on four key pillars: supporting athletes (Beyond the Medal), funding projects with social impact (Grants for Change), creating public spaces with social benefits (Envision Together), and enhancing accessibility for people with disabilities. The Grants for Change program funded three teams for 2025, and a new round of proposals is expected to begin at the end of February. For 2026, the Foundation aims to include three new athletes in the Beyond the Medal program and educate young people about the concept of a dual career.
