The A. G. Leventis FoundationLink opens in a new window

Established in May 1979, the A. G. Leventis Foundation is the outcome of the vision of the Cypriot entrepreneur Anastasios G. Leventis (1902-1978), who laid the bases of its focus on society, education and culture. Now in its fourth decade, the Foundation retains its adherence to these priorities, keenly supporting the dissemination of Greek and Cypriot cultural heritage, as well as extensive public benefits programs, pioneering environmental protection projects, and medical research.

The WCN was supported from 30th April 2019 by the generous funding of the A. G. Leventis Foundation, and in 2021 we are pleased to announce that the foundation will continue to support the WCN for a further 5 years. This generous funding will be used to support events such as our annual Teachers Day and Ancient Worlds Study Day, and to build on the strong ties already developed between the Classics Department at Warwick with local schools and heritage institutions, and with schools across the country.

Graham and Joanna Barker

We are proud to announce that from April 2021, the WCN will be receiving funding from Graham and Joanna Barker to support the work of the WCN for the next 5 years. Graham studied for his MA in Classics here at Warwick, specialising in numismatics, and we are very pleased to accept his and Joanna's generous gift which will keep them involved in the Dept for years to come. This funding will allow Dr Paul Grigsby to continue in his role with WCN as Research Fellow in Outreach in the dept. of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick, and will allow the WCN to continue to develop and grow. We are excited about what the next 5 years will bring and are honoured to help these generous people support the study of Classics.
