Request for Community Assistance.

The Hellenic Club’s Community Assistance Program is driven by a clear philosophy and specific aims and objectives based on the core values that define the Greek culture and ethos. Established in 1979, the Hellenic Club has grown and developed from the initial vision of its founding members.


Hellenic Club of Canberra Community Contributions Committee and The Community Assistance Program was formed in order to support the Board of Directors in its responsibility for allocating financial and other forms of support to charitable and other community organisations in Canberra and the wider region.
