Description of the organization
HIGGS l Higher Incubator Giving Growth & Sustainability l is a non-profit organization which started its operation in 2015 with a founding grant of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. HIGGS is a pioneer in the Civil Society ecosystem, since it is the first and largest support hub for non-profit organizations and other initiatives that have a positive social and environmental impact, in Greece.
In just 7 years of operation (2015 - 2022), HIGGS' team has supported 204 non-profit organizations from all over Greece, helping them to ensure financing of over €11,000,000, to create 861 new jobs and serve more than 360,000 beneficiaries.
Through well-structured programs (Incubator, Accelerator, Green & Social Entrepreneurship Incubator), we offer free training and specialized consulting programs to NGOs nationwide. As a hub for information and collaboration, we promote the networking of all stakeholders in the ecosystem.
Closely monitoring the Greek Civil Society and its needs, we produce relevant studies, we create capacity building and social impact measurement tools and we organize events with the aim of disseminating know-how and opening relevant dialogues.
