Since the International Rescue Committee (IRC) was first founded at the request of Albert Einstein in 1933, our global team of more than 17,000 staff have helped people upended by conflict and crisis to survive, recover, and regain control of their lives. Today we work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S.

What is the Rescue Collective? Rescue Collective is a community of donors and action-takers within the International Rescue Committee, who support refugees and displaced families affected by humanitarian crises to regain their safety, health, education, economic wellbeing, and power.
