    About Hellenic Foundation

    A large share of Hellenic Foundation’s recent giving has gone to Greek Orthodox community institutions in the Chicago area, with several of its largest awards supporting retreat, ministry, and education programs. One of the biggest recent grants was $148,380 to St Iakovos Retreat Center in Kansasville, Wisconsin for an accessible sports field improvement project, showing how the foundation funds both facilities and community programming. It also gave $75,000 to Greek Met - Lighthouse in Oak Brook for Lighthouse Camp, and another $75,000 to Met of Chicago Fanari Camping Minis for a growth and outreach ministry effort. Those grants sit alongside support for youth formation, religious education, cultural programming, and community services tied to the Greek American and Orthodox Christian community. The foundation’s grants reach parishes, schools, museums, retreat centers, and service organizations, reflecting a mix of direct program support and infrastructure-oriented funding. Several awards also connect to transportation, food access, accessibility, and scholarship-related work within the same community network.

    What Hellenic Foundation Funds

    Youth and young adult ministry is a recurring thread. Hellenic Foundation gave $67,301 to Crossroad Institute Inc in Brookline Village, Massachusetts for young adult ministry, and $75,000 to Met of Chicago Fanari Camping Minis in Oak Brook for growth outreach ministry. Education and scholarships are another clear area: the foundation funded Hellenic American Academy in Deerfield for an educational program and a drama club program, and supported Panhellenic Scholarship Found in Chicago for an alumni reunion. Cultural and heritage programming appears through grants such as $21,232 to National Hellenic Museum in Chicago for a discussion and educational program and $15,860 for its field trip program. The foundation also supports practical community services, including $18,000 to Hellenic Legal Assistance Services for a pro bono legal clinic.

    How Hellenic Foundation Gives

    Typical grants are in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $8,863, the median is $11,260, and the 75th percentile is $16,140. The distribution suggests a core of modest operating and program awards, with occasional larger capital or initiative grants above that range. The same organizations can appear in more than one year, including St Iakovos Retreat Center, National Hellenic Museum, and Hellenic American Academy, which points to repeat support rather than one-time-only funding. The foundation also runs named grant programs and initiatives, including an annual grant program and school-grant track. It accepts unsolicited applications for the annual and school grant programs.
