A Rare Opportunity
The purpose of the Foundation is to create an endowment for the Metropolis of Chicago that will provide stability and transparency for donors and generate funds that expressly advance the mission and long-term vision of the Metropolis of Chicago.
Our Vision
Building the Future of the Faith
Our mission is to provide long-term financial support to the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago, which will allow it to grow, vitalize, and sustain our Orthodox Christian faith in the Midwest. With the Foundation’s help, the Metropolis will have the resources to cultivate a Church that is dynamic, relevant, and impactful for future generations to come. That future is one in which our parishes are growing; we joyfully care for the most vulnerable in society; and we offer thoughtful responses to challenges affecting humanity.
