Campaign for
Disaster Relief


The American Red Cross is actively seeking donations to raise $100 million for the Disaster Relief Fund, which is depleted as a result of an active year of disasters.

Disasters change lives. You can too. Your gift fuels our lifesaving services every single day.

Disaster Relief Fund

You can help the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, disasters like floods and winter storms, by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. This Fund enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disaster. The American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster please do so at the time of your donation. Call 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or mail your donation, with the designation, to the American Red Cross, P. O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

International Response Fund

You can help the victims of countless crises around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. The American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster, please do so at the time of your donation by mailing your donation with the designation to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013 or to your local American Red Cross chapter.

Where The Need Is Greatest

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—down the street, across the country and around the world—in emergencies. The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. You can help ensure that the Red Cross can continue to provide these lifesaving services and has the resources, talent and ability to continue to deliver them by making a donation to support all of its core services today.

Service To The Armed Forces

The American Red Cross is a lifeline for deployed military members, allowing them to communicate to loved ones back home during emergencies. We also provide social services, emergency travel, financial assistance and mental health support for our returning troops and their families. You can help the Red Cross help military families with a gift to Red Cross Services to Armed Forces.

Your Local Red Cross Chapter

Your local Red Cross chapter is committed to meeting the humanitarian needs of the people in your area, be it in disaster preparedness, disaster relief, first aid or CPR training, or disease prevention. You can help support your local chapter programs and services through a gift to your local Red Cross chapter. The gift will be sent to the local area chapter based on your zip code.
