How You Can Help

Please join us. The International Rescue Committee is exactly as it sounds: a group of people from around the world who have pledged their time and resources to rescuing people in peril. When you help the IRC, you help the persecuted and displaced, survivors of war and disaster, refugees struggling to start anew. You extend our reach…and send a message of hope to millions.

The Gold Standard
"When it comes to protecting refugees, the IRC is the gold standard. You also get the biggest bang for the buck: 90 cents of every dollar the IRC raises is spent in the field on programs that benefit people."
—Tom Brokaw, Co-chairman, IRC Overseers
