About Orthodox Vision Foundation

Its single recorded grant is a substantial gift to the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese (designated for Fr. Michael Tassos), suggesting priorities centered on denominational/clerical support rather than broad public programs. The foundation’s giving is distinctive for being explicitly religious and directed to Orthodox Christian leadership.
