The Nicholas J and Anna K Bouras Foundation concentrates its giving on Greek Orthodox religious institutions, Greek-American social services, and a small set of local civic/educational beneficiaries. A large share of assets supports the Archdiocese and related church bodies (including clergy/pension and religious freedom causes), alongside repeated gifts to a Greek-focused nursing/eldercare center and the local hospital foundation. Grants skew to organizational support rather than broad public charities, reflecting ethnic/religious philanthropy centered in the foundation’s community.
Nicholas J and Anna K Bouras Foundation Inc repeatedly directs large grants to Greek Orthodox institutions, with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese receiving several of the biggest awards in the recent record. That pattern sits alongside sustained support for related church bodies such as the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Fd, the Order of St Andrew, and archdiocesan pension support, showing a clear commitment to religious infrastructure rather than scattered thematic giving. The foundation also backs Greek-American eldercare and a smaller set of community institutions, including a nursing center in Wheeling and hospital-related organizations in New Jersey. Its recent grants show both very large institutional gifts and smaller, recurring operating-style support, with the same organizations appearing across multiple years. Newer awards also extend to Greek-focused education and child welfare, including support for continuing education, scholarship-like education funding, and services for needy children. Taken together, the record reflects a funder centered on Greek Orthodox and Greek-American community institutions, with selective support for healthcare and social services tied to that same network.
Greek Orthodox church operations are the clearest thread in the foundation’s portfolio. It gave $1,400,000 in 2023, $1,260,000 in 2024, and $1,330,000 in 2025 to Greek Orthodox Archdioces for support of Greek Orthodox religion, and it also granted $500,000 in 2023 to Archdiocese Pension Grant for support of the Greek Orthodox church. Religious freedom appears as a separate line of support through Order of St Andrew, which received $360,000 in 2025 and $285,000 and $260,000 in earlier grants. Beyond church bodies, the foundation supports eldercare and human services. Greek American Nursing Center in Wheeling received $400,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for care of elderly Greek Americans. Tikva Childrens Home received $540,000 in 2024 and $140,000 in 2023 for support of needy children. The portfolio also reaches into education through The Citadel Foundation and Greek American College of Greece.
Typical grants cluster around a modest-to-midrange core, with p25 at $10,000, a median of $15,000, and p75 at $50,000, even as the foundation also makes seven-figure institutional awards. The recent record shows recurring support to the same recipients over multiple years, including repeated gifts to church bodies, hospitals, and eldercare organizations. Grants are directed to organizations rather than individuals in the recent list, and the foundation is structured as a private foundation with substantial assets relative to annual giving. No application process is described in the data.
