Within the context of empowering Nonprofit Organizations operating in Greece, HIGGS has created the two pillars Incubator and Accelerator. In the Incubator program we host individuals interested in creating an NPO, from newly established ones, or organizations that aim at rebooting themselves. The organizations participating in the Accelerator program have to be small or medium-sized NPOs with a maximum number of 40 permanent and full-time employees and they are selected based on the fundraising proposal that they submit.
