KIKPE Foundation

The Social and Cultural Affairs Welfare Foundation (KIKPE) is a Greek foundation established in 1988 and based in Athens. It operates as a non-profit institution with a nine-member Board of Directors, supported by employees and specialized external associates who implement its various projects and tasks. The foundation's stated goals are threefold: providing social welfare and reinforcing institutions that care for vulnerable population groups; developing cultural activities, primarily through utilizing and promoting the foundation's collections and archives in Greece and abroad; and supporting long-term actions within the educational and cultural fields in cooperation with similar institutions and foundations. KIKPE's social affairs work includes offering social services, particularly in areas affected by the economic crisis, and strengthening institutions that cater to sensitive population groups. It assists the organization of meals run by the Archdiocese of Athens in areas of Attica affected by the economic crisis, as well as corresponding actions of the Municipality of Athens. The foundation also supports other similar institutions, such as the non-profit organization "Prolepsis" for the distribution of meals to students in schools of Attica, and the "Therapy Center for Dependent Individuals" (KEThEA) for the training of professionals in certain rehabilitation communities. In the cultural sphere, KIKPE maintains collections and archives, including the KIKPE Numismatic Collection, which participates in exhibitions such as "Medals of the Greek Struggle." The foundation also publishes works such as the Memoranda Numismatica Atheniensia series, with the fifth volume published in 2021 and a Greek edition of the first volume released in 2021. These activities reflect KIKPE's commitment to cultural awareness and education. The foundation is administered by a Board consisting of Ippokratis Ioannis Stasinopoulos (President), Athanasios Molokotos (Vice-president), Angeliki Papadopoulou (Secretary–Treasurer), Christos-Emmanouil Dimitrakopoulos, Nikephoros Kominis, Anastasios Metaxopoulos, Eleni Molokotou, Ioannis Panagiotopoulos, and Theodoros Valmas (Members).
