The A.G. Leventis Foundation

Anastasios G. Leventis left provision in his will for a Foundation to support education, cultural and artistic projects in Cyprus, Greece and across the world. The A.G. Leventis Foundation came into being in 1979. Since then, it has remained faithful to these ideals.

The Foundation has supported a number of projects across the University, including studentships, a lectureship and the ‘Leventis Room’ within Classics.
