Wave Thessaloniki – Resource Strategy & Funder Research

Gia Contribution
Wave Thessaloniki is a locally-rooted initiative supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people in northern Greece through essential aid distribution, and community-led activities. Run by a small team of committed members, Wave plays a critical role in filling service gaps left by larger systems, providing practical, consistent support in a complex and often underfunded context.

Gia is helping Wave strengthen its fundraising efforts by researching relevant donors, identifying funding opportunities, and supporting the development of grant applications. Alongside this, Gia is shaping a clear funding direction and developing tailored materials that communicate Wave’s impact and values.
Funder Mapping & Research:
Gia is conducting targeted research to identify potential funders aligned with Wave’s mission. A detailed donor database is being compiled, with tracked grant cycles and strategic recommendations for outreach and engagement.
