Our Philanthropic Guidelines

The Pancretan Association of America supports high-impact initiatives that benefit large numbers of people through established organizations. We focus on orphanages, soup kitchens, special needs facilities, hospitals, and other nonprofits delivering broad, sustainable support in Crete, Greece, and the United States.

What We Do Not Fund

As a registered non-profit, the PAA does not directly fund individuals or organizations established for individual fundraising, whether in North America or Greece. The Philanthropic Committee cannot act as a conduit for personal financial assistance such as housing or medical travel.

While we empathize with the challenges many families face, our resources are dedicated to organizational partnerships that create lasting, community-wide impact. We appreciate your understanding and support as we focus on helping the greatest number of people.

For families seeking support, we encourage using dedicated fundraising platforms where friends and community members can contribute directly.
