Honoring the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) at Tanenbaum’s 2026 Celebration

I am pleased to announce that the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) will accept this year’s Dr. Leonard S. Polonsky CBE Philanthropic Bridge Builder Award. This is the first time we have presented the award with Leonard’s name on it and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) is the perfect recipient for this symbolic moment. SNF is currently celebrating the 30 year anniversary of its founding and we are humbled by the opportunity to join in such celebrations by honoring them.

In the organization’s own words SNF’s “…mission, encompassing program areas of Arts & Culture, Education, Health & Sports, and Social Welfare, is broad by design. At its core are a fundamentally collaborative approach based on the expertise of partners on the ground, a commitment to public-private partnership, and a belief that everyone should have access to art, education, health care, and life’s other essentials. This approach, with humanity at the core, has guided support to more than 3,100 grantee-partners in 138 countries.” We are elated to celebrate SNF’s incredible 30 year history and honor their massive global impact.
