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 Domanada Foundation's grant program is primarily designed as a matching grant to stimulate new giving to organizations, rather than funding specific projects or programs directly. This approach is intended to encourage new donors or inspire existing donors to increase their contributions, using the matching grant as a fundraising tool. The foundation predominantly supports organizations involved in theological education, leadership development, and issues of justice and compassion. It has a specific geographic focus on the Chicago area and the former communist nations of Central and Eastern Europe (excluding the former Soviet Union). The foundation prefers to work with new, emerging, or moderate-sized organizations, especially at the onset or during times of significant ministry expansion. This focus is in line with the foundation's commitment to building relationships and partnering with organizations through a hands-on approach.
