You Can Help, Too!

The Eleos Foundation does not accept direct grant proposals. Instead, it works through two global grant-making intermediaries. We encourage you to contact our grant-making intermediaries about how you can support Eleos' projects.

The Eleos Foundation is a Santa Barbara-based charitable organization working to offer hope and self-sufficiency to impoverished people by advancing access to health and education in the world's poorest communities. Eleos is an ancient Greek word meaning "compassion joined with a desire to help."

Eleos advances its mission in three ways:
  • Making grants to not-for-profit organizations that are working to advance access to health and education in highly impoverished communities
  • Gathering religious, not-for-profit, philanthropic, and community leaders to foster learning and to encourage collaboration in support of the Foundation's mission
  • Gifting use of it's Ladera campus for retreat to groups that are engaged in compassionate action in the area of global poverty
