The Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco has announced the public launch of the All Saints Foundation, an initiative created to establish a permanent financial resource supporting the ministries and long-term mission of the Metropolis throughout its seven-state region.

The Foundation begins this important new chapter with nearly $5.2 million in founding gifts and multi-year pledges, led by a transformational $2 million gift from The George and Judy Marcus Family Foundation.

The launch represents the realization of a vision that began many years ago under the leadership of Bishop Anthony of San Francisco, of blessed memory, who recognized the importance of establishing a permanent resource that would help strengthen the Church for generations to come. Carefully nurtured through the years, that vision is now taking shape through the leadership of His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco, the All Saints Foundation Board of Trustees, and a growing group of Founders committed to its mission.

“The seed planted by our beloved Bishop Anthony so many years ago is now beginning to bear fruit,” stated His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco. “I am deeply grateful to all our Founders, and especially to The George and Judy Marcus Family Foundation for this extraordinary $2 million gift. Through their generosity and commitment, we are building a lasting resource that will strengthen our faith and culture for generations to come.”

Byron Scordelis, President of the All Saints Foundation, reflected, “This milestone represents a remarkable spirit of collaboration and a shared belief in the future of our Metropolis. We are deeply grateful to George and Judy Marcus and to all our Founders whose generosity has given the All Saints Foundation such tremendous momentum. This is an exciting beginning, and we look forward to welcoming others who share our vision for the future of the Church.”

The All Saints Foundation is an independent California nonprofit charitable public benefit corporation and tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Through prudent stewardship and continued growth, the Foundation seeks to create a lasting financial resource that will support the life and mission of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco for generations to come.
