Orthodox Vision Foundation

• The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has pre-selected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
• Your work fits best if it sits in one of its stated areas: feeding and equipping homeless people and the working poor, spreading the Orthodox Christian worldview, church governance and policy, clergy and lay education, or launching new ministries, with a furthering of the Orthodox Christian Church in the United States.
• The filing states no geographic focus, though its grants mainly go to California, Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland, so location alone should not decide whether you approach it.
• Half of its grants to organisations were $5,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $76,000, so a request in that band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was about $905,000.
• In its latest filing 93% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so funding is relationship-led, and the filing describes no deadlines or submission stages to aim for.
