Pledge supports timely responses as major disasters increase in frequency
WASHINGTON, June 4, 2025 — The American Red Cross has recognized NTT DATA for its pledge of $500,000 to the Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP). Through this donation, NTT DATA is helping ensure the Red Cross can quickly respond to disasters big and small across the U.S. and help people in need at a moment’s notice.
ADGP members, along with their employees and customers, pledge financial and in-kind donations in advance of disasters to power the Red Cross with the infrastructure, volunteers, technology and resources to provide relief in times of crisis. These donations enable the Red Cross to respond to disasters at a moment’s notice — offering a safe place to sleep, a nutritious meal, emotional support and supplies to aid in recovery — while also helping prepare people and communities for future disasters.
“NTT DATA wholeheartedly supports the Red Cross mission to prevent and alleviate suffering in the face of emergencies,” said Mona Charif, Chief Marketing Officer, NTT DATA, Inc. “Through this donation, we want to thank and support all the Red Cross staff and volunteers who turn compassion into action when help can’t wait.”
The Red Cross responds to more than 65,000 disasters across the country every year, providing comfort and hope in times of crisis. As rapidly intensifying storms, extreme heat, record floods and widespread wildfires continue to devastate communities across the country, donations from ADGP members are more important than ever to power nonstop Red Cross relief efforts for those who need it most.
“We are deeply grateful to NTT DATA for their generous investment in our mission, which enables us to respond quickly and effectively when disasters of all sizes strike,” said Anne McKeough, chief development officer at the American Red Cross. “As communities across the country face more extreme disasters, ADGP members like NTT DATA ensure we can stand ready to provide comfort and care when it’s needed most.”
Donations from ADGP members also support basic needs for families affected by home fires — which comprise the majority of Red Cross response efforts — and help ensure the Red Cross can continue offering disaster preparedness education nationwide.
Individuals can help people affected by disasters big and small by making a gift to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Donations to Disaster Relief enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small.
