IOCC Announces Challenge Grant for Summer's Wildfires in Greece
Livestock farmer Giannis shows the IOCC team his property on Evia, devastated by wildfires in summer 2021. IOCC is helping farmers like him, as well as small businesses and families in need, rebuild and reestablish their livelihoods.
The George and Judy Marcus Foundation and the Jaharis Family Foundation have together provided IOCC with a six-figure matching challenge grant to support IOCC’s long- term response to last summer’s wildfires in Greece. With the Marcuses providing the lead gift of $300,000, Mr. Marcus encouraged IOCC to multiply proceeds to help more people. In addition, the Jaharis Family Foundation committed another $85,000, creating a total matching gift challenge fund of $385,000. To meet the vast needs in fire-ravaged regions, the Marcus and Jaharis Foundations are working with IOCC to urge others to support recovery efforts.
