The Domanada Foundation is dedicated to utilizing its resources to further the cause of Jesus Christ. It focuses on being Christ-centered, servant-focused, and relationship-driven, aiming to support organizations in achieving their missions through educational, human, and financial resources. The foundation emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interactions in the grantmaking process to ensure openness, honesty, and transparency. It underlines the value of living lives anchored in prayer, the inspired word of God, and guided by the Holy Spirit, striving for personal wholeness, servant leadership, and fostering honest and transparent relationships.
The grant program by the Domanada Foundation is designed to serve as a catalyst for new giving, rather than directly funding specific projects. It primarily offers matching grants with the goal of stimulating new donations, thereby functioning as a fundraising tool for organizations. The Foundation targets its financial support towards organizations that are Christ-focused, engaging in theological education, leadership development, and addressing issues of justice and compassion. Geographically, its efforts are concentrated in the Chicago area and the former communist nations of Central and Eastern Europe (excluding the former Soviet Union), focusing on new, emerging, or moderate-sized organizations. Most grants arise from established relationships, especially favoring moments when an organization is starting or significantly expanding its ministry.
