WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Hellenic Institute Foundation (AHIF) is honored to announce a generous bequest of $670,000 from the estate of E. John Rumpakis. This extraordinary gift reflects John’s lifelong dedication to advancing Hellenism, preserving our shared heritage, and strengthening the Greek American community.
