APPEALS
MAFA conducts appeals as needed to raise funds for the monasteries and the Holy Community of Mount Athos. These are in some cases emergency appeals when funds are needed on short notice, and in other cases project appeals — fund-raising efforts to support projects — for example, restoration projects like the recent appeal on behalf of the Axion Estin Cell.
