About International Relief Teams
International Relief Teams concentrates on emergency humanitarian aid that moves directly into food, water, shelter, medicines, and relief supplies. The foundation’s recent grants show a strong tilt toward disaster response and refugee support, with repeated support for Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri, including $1,190,200 in 2023 and $939,865 in 2025 for disaster relief programs. It also funded Concern Worldwide in New York twice in 2023 and 2025 for food, water, and shelter, including a $984,800 grant in 2023. Beyond those large awards, the portfolio includes in-kind and rapid-response support such as food vouchers, hygiene kits, shelter relief, and emergency food distribution. The grant list also points to specific crisis contexts, including Ukraine, Syria and Lebanon, Gaza and Israel, Tijuana, and COVID-affected families. As a public charity with annual grants of $6.9 million and total assets of $7.3 million, the foundation operates at a meaningful national scale while staying closely tied to direct service delivery. Its stated aim is to improve lives affected by disasters and poverty around the world through essential resources.

Humanitarian relief for displaced people is also a recurring use of funds. The foundation awarded $560,769 to WAM Inc for food vouchers for Syria and Lebanon and hydroponics garden support, and $271,700 to Convoy of Hope for supplies for Ukraine refugees. Food and shelter appear together in several grants, including $984,800 to Concern Worldwide for food, water, and shelter and $886,636 to San Diego Food Bank for food for families affected by COVID. Education-linked support appears as well, with $48,000 to Friends of Kids Kingdom for food and education for kids.
How International Relief Teams Gives
Grant sizes vary widely, with a p25 of $49,000, a median of $207,719, and a p75 of $618,318. The recent record shows both one-time and repeated support: Convoy of Hope appears in 2023 and 2025, Concern Worldwide appears in both years, and Friends of Kids Kingdom received awards in 2023 and 2025.
