Overseas Delegates
The American Red Cross occasionally recruits international delegates (overseas staff), generally in the fields of disaster relief and logistics, international public health and finance.  Highly skilled and experienced individuals are encouraged to review open positions listed under Career Opportunities.

The International Response Fund
When a disaster strikes suddenly, it is the International Response Fund that allows the American Red Cross to immediately respond—providing support to survivors before most do­nations arrive and responding to silent crises that never capture the media spotlight.  In addition to global disaster response, this vital, unrestricted fund supports other aspects of the international work of the American Red Cross—preparing communities for future disasters, providing basic health services to prevent disease, reconnecting families separated by war or disaster, and educating U.S. students on humanitarian issues including the limits of war.
You can help the victims of countless crises around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. Donations to the International Response Fund can be made online, sent to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013 or made by phone at 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish).
