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.

In these extraordinary times, the world needs courageous leadership. That is what the International Rescue Committee was founded to provide. Our first employee, Varian Fry, issued fake passports from a safe house in Nazi-occupied Marseille to help people escape persecution during WWII.
