Upon his death in 1975, two foundations were incorporated in Vaduz, Liechtenstein: the Business Foundation and the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation. The public benefit foundation is based in Athens, Greece. Culture, education, health, the environment and social achievement are its main priorities. All the activities of the Foundation are exclusively related to Greece and Greek civilization.
