The American Red Cross is not a
government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free thanks to
the generosity of people like you.
The value of your donation is increased
by the fact that the ratio of volunteer Red Cross workers to paid staff is
almost 36 to one.
Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,
are deductible for
computing income and estate taxes.
