The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is thankful to our corporate partners who provide critical support as well as unique initiatives and actions that the public can take part in to support the IRC. This will help the IRC continue our work as the largest refugee resettlement agency in the U.S., and help us respond to several threats facing refugees right now, including the spread of COVID-19, displacement due to conflict, and rising rates of hunger. In addition to donating to the IRC directly, here are ways to support the IRC through our partners*:
AmazonSmile
Customers shopping on Amazon can support refugees by going to smile.amazon.com anytime and selecting the IRC as the charity of choice. The AmazonSmile Foundation will then donate 0.5% of the purchase price for all your eligible AmazonSmile purchases.
