The Chicago Greektown Educational Foundation was formed in 2014 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to support the efforts of those working tirelessly to preserve the Greek language and culture. In 2016, the Foundation began developing initiatives to assist Greek language educators with what we view as the essential task of integrating technology into modern Greek curricula.
Beginning in 2016, several parishes sought financial assistance for materials and supplies to enhance and maintain their Greek school programs. We have contributed over $100,000 toward classroom improvements, program grants and new education technologies to schools.
Since 2014, the Foundation partnered with Special Service Area #16 in Greektown to ensure that all Greek Americans have access to a Greek community and education.
