Founded in 1984 by Greek American Orthodox leaders under the guidance of Archbishop Iakovos, The Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Fund, Incorporated, is a 501(c)(3) endowment fund corporation that supports the life-sustaining National Ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in advancement of Orthodoxy and Hellenism. Members pledge $100,000, which is paid over a period of 10 years or less. The principal of the endowment fund remains permanently restricted and inviolate. From its inception to 2021, Leadership 100 has distributed more than $65 million in grants.
“Leadership 100 became a Founding Member because of our deep Respect, Love and Admiration for the Ecumenical Patriarch. We support His All Holiness in his worthy ministry to advance the Orthodox Faith and promote Religious Freedom throughout the world.”
