The Foundation is actively seeking to partner with nonprofit organizations, with 501(C)(3) tax- exempt status, whose programs and projects benefit the Greek American and the Orthodox Christian communities of the Chicagoland area. The Grant Program's aim is to nurture and advance activities which contribute to the culture, humanities, education, youth development, senior programs, and philanthropy.
 
The Hellenic Foundation is a self-funded, private, independent foundation. The Foundation’s Grant Program is funded on an annual basis through earnings realized from its investment program. Therefore, the scope of the programs and geographic areas supported by the Grant Program is limited to insure that sufficient funds are available to fund organizations whose programs and projects support the Foundation’s efforts to fulfill its Mission.
