At a time when more than 82 million people are uprooted by crisis worldwide, here are 10 reasons to give to the International Rescue Committee (IRC):
- For nearly 90 years we have been helping people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
- We are leaders in responding to the triple threat refugees are facing right now—the rapid spread of COVID-19, conflict and displacement, and hunger.
- We were founded at the call of Albert Einstein. Ingenuity, fortitude and optimism remain at the heart of who we are and how we work.
- We are the largest refugee resettlement agency in the United States.
- We help people in some of the toughest and most remote places on Earth.
- We have developed a revolutionary new approach to treating malnutrition in children.
- We go where we are needed, regardless of public attention.
- We were the first aid organization to develop an international team dedicated to preventing violence against women and girls.
- We have earned an A rating from CharityWatch.
- We put the people we serve at the heart of everything we do. And we never, ever give up on refugees.
