Donating Funds

The Red Cross relies on donations. In every single case, it is the mission of the American Red Cross to be there and help those in need—whether disaster strikes thousands of people at once...or one family in the middle of the night.

The American Red Cross responds to fires, floods and other emergencies in your own community - all disaster assistance is free, made possible by donations, and everyone who needs it gets it.

6. Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity pays you guaranteed income for life at an attractive rate, offers tax savings, and frees you from investment worries and responsibilities. Establishing a gift annuity is simple. If you are 55 or older and you make a gift of money or securities, the American Red Cross will pay you an income, in the form of an annuity for life.
