I would be somewhat surprised if Greece sources for the Ecumenical Patriarchate were greater than American sources. The Greek government may provide some funding, and the churches under its canonical jurisdiction in Greece may provide some institutional funding, but one must include the archons in the figures. There has been much discontent in recent years among wealthy Greek donors in the U.S. regarding the amount of funds going to the Patriarchate, and attempts to "grab" money that was donated for the purpose of that money being spent in the U.S. And one of the sources of discontent has been the lack of proper accounting. So it may not be possible to know exactly where the money comes from.
