The CIO collects donations from organisations, companies and individuals who recognise the need to prevent and relieve the poverty and distribute them in a transparent way by publicly announcing who the beneficiaries are at the time. The CIO traditionally organises the charity events, with the main event being the Saint Sava Ball in London, where all donations by the sponsors, patrons and diners are collected in one fund which is then used to help those in need. As the new CIO, we are open to applications by individuals or organisations working on prevention and relief of the poverty in Serbia, Kosovo and Metohija, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia for grants, items and services.
