Leadership 100 has a great deal to celebrate as it turns 35 with over 1,000 active members, who all pledge $100,000 to the charity. This 501(c)(3) organization supports the National Ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in advancement of Orthodoxy and Hellenism.
Since 1984, when it was first founded under the guidance of Archbishop Iakovos, the organization has distributed over $50 million in grants supporting studies for the priesthood at Hellenic College/Holy Cross School of Theology and other national ministries.
It has granted donations to Religious and Greek Education; Youth, Young Adult and Camping Ministries; Family and Marriage Services; Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations; Internet Ministries; and Home Mission.
Leadership 100 has also provided humanitarian assistance during national and international crises.
