International Orthodox Christian Charities, Inc. (IOCC), based in Baltimore, Maryland, was established in March 1992 as the official international humanitarian organization of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA). Since its inception, IOCC has distributed more than US $226 million in relief and development programs in 30 countries. IOCC does not provide funds for Church missions such as religious education or missionary work. All funds collected by the agency (minus administrative expenses) are instead used for humanitarian aid.
IOCC has received a rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, the highest rating the organization awards.[1]
IOCC is a member of ACT Development, a global alliance of churches and related agencies working on development that are committed to working together.
