About the 300 Spartans

The 300 Spartans is a sustaining membership circle of the Greek America Foundation, created for people who want to help provide dependable annual support for the organization’s programs, operations, and future growth.

Why 300 Spartans?

In 480 BC, at the narrow pass of Thermopylae, 300 Spartans stood against an invading Persian army of hundreds of thousands. They fought to defend the ideals of freedom, democracy, and self-determination that would one day shape Western civilization. Their courage became a symbol of how a small group, united by purpose, can alter the course of history.

Today, we call upon a new army of 300. Not to raise swords, but to raise support. The 300 Spartans are people who respect, appreciate, and care about the work of the Greek America Foundation and make a minimum annual commitment of $1,000 to sustain our future.

$1,000 a year.
That’s $88 a month.
$2.60 per day.

This fund is critical to the Greek America Foundation’s operations and ensures that we can continue our transformative work.
