  Fraud, Waste or Abuse -
The American Red Cross is a non-profit humanitarian organization that relies on the generosity of the American public. The Red Cross has a zero tolerance policy toward fraud, waste and abuse. We rely on your eyes and ears. If you suspect fraud you may report it 2 ways.

  1. You can contact our Concern Connection Line which is a 24-hour, confidential and anonymous, toll-free line that provides American Red Cross staff, volunteer and members of the public a way to report concerns or questions regarding potentially illegal, unsafe or unethical conduct. That number is 888-309-9679.
  2. You may also report your concerns online by going to https://www.integrity-helpline.com/RedCross.jsp.
