ARCHBISHOP IAKOVOS LEADERSHIP 100 ENDOWMENT FUND GRANT APPLICATION AND GUIDELINES

The Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Endowment Fund (the "Fund") was established in 1984, for the purpose of seeding and nurturing programs under the National Ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and those that advance Orthodoxy and Hellenism. The Fund does not provide support for general operating purposes of the Archdiocese.

Completed applications must be submitted in duplicate to the Executive Director of Leadership 100 no later than September 30th to be considered for funding the following year. After review by the Grant Committee, the Executive Committee, at its meeting at the Annual Leadership 100 Conference in February acts upon the application.

While most grants are made for one year, multiple-year grants are sometimes considered. All grants require submission of a progress and final report after six months and at the end of each year. Continued funding on a multi-year basis or funding of additional projects is conditioned on favorable review of such reports.

After the Executive Committee approves a grant request, it is forwarded to the Archbishop for final approval. He may grant formal approval or he may disapprove the request, if he considers it to be inconsistent with the priorities of the National Ministries of the Archdiocese. If he takes no action, the Executive Committee’s approval automatically becomes final on the thirty-first day after its delivery to the Archbishop.

All promotional and other reports and materials distributed by grant recipients to the public with respect to the subject matter of a Leadership 100 grant shall state, in language approved by Leadership 100, that such program is funded in whole or in part by Leadership 100.
