Since the late 2000s, third sector foundations such as, notably, the Alexandros Onassis Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, are making a significant impact on the financing of culture through, mainly, the establishment or co-sponsoring of major capital projects and, to a lesser extent, support for artistic creativity and participation. Most initiatives are in Athens, including the multipurpose Onassis Cultural Foundation Centre established in 2010, and the large Niarchos-sponsored cultural complex in the Phaleron area, including new buildings for the National Library and the State Opera House, currently under construction.
