Ready365 Giving Program
With multiple giving options, local or regional partnerships can provide critical support for Red Cross service delivery and spotlight your gift in front of other Red Cross supporters in your area.
Every day, the American Red Cross assists people who face disasters. We secure food and lodging for the family affected by a home fire. We provide clean-up supplies to the couple whose basement was flooded. We give the child who has lost everything the immediate psychological care he or she needs and a toy to call their own. We have prevented and relieved suffering, one day at a time, for more than 130 years. In this period, we have served millions of people during their most desperate times. They lived in small towns and big cities across the United States and around the world.
Wherever they were, they had one thing in common. They knew where to turn when disaster struck. They knew that—365 days a year—the American Red Cross was ready to help.
Through Ready 365, you can help too. As a Ready 365 Giving Program member, your company stands with the Red Cross as we provide lifesaving services. Multiple giving levels through the Ready 365 Giving Program are available. Each level provides visible recognition through high-traffic communications channels and spotlights your company as a dedicated Red Cross donor. As our valued partner, you will join a select group of companies which are featured below. These companies understand the importance of supporting the American Red Cross and have a strong desire to help their community. We thank them for their ongoing support and commitment to our mission.
For more information about the Ready 365 program please contact Kevin Moran at Kevin.Moran2@redcross.org.
Home Fire Campaign and Sound the Alarm
The Home Fire Campaign drives impact through thousands of events in at-risk neighborhoods where volunteers go door-to-door to share fire education and prevention tools and install free smoke alarms. Sound the Alarm is a grassroots, event-based opportunity to rally support for the campaign and for financial supporters to put their donations into action.
No one is immune to home fires. They can strike you, your loved ones, neighbors and colleagues – any one of us at any time. In fact, every eight minutes, the American Red Cross responds to a devastating home fire or other disaster. Through our Home Fire Preparedness Campaign, the Red Cross and our partners are aiming to reduce deaths and injuries caused by home fires by 25 percent over the next five years. We are asking every household in America to join us in taking two simple steps that can prevent home fires and save lives: test your smoke alarms monthly, and practice fire drills at home.
As part of the Home Fire Campaign, every spring, the Red Cross will rally volunteers to Sound the Alarm and install 100,000 new smoke alarms nationwide, saving lives in some of the nation's most at-risk communities. At the same time, we will raise home fire safety awareness through national marketing and media, and we will build on the spring events by continuing to install smoke alarms and educate the community members year-round.
Sponsor Benefits:
You can sponsor our Sound the Alarm efforts and receive premiere ongoing visibility while helping fight people's biggest disaster threat.
When you make a donation of $10,000 or more in support of our Home Fire Campaign, we partner with you to:

Pre-Event Smoke Alarm Canvassing
Though home fires are our most common disaster threat, too many homes lack working smoke alarms. Sadly, the majority of fire deaths occur in these homes, according to the National Fire Protection Association. During canvassing, volunteers go door-to-door, speaking with residents about the importance of smoke alarms and introducing our free smoke alarm installation service. By delivering Red Cross fire safety information directly to area homes, your employees can help save neighbors’ lives.
Smoke Alarm Installations (Sound the Alarm)
According to the National Fire Protection Association, when people die from home fires, it’s usually in homes where smoke alarms don’t function or don’t exist. That’s why an army of Red Cross volunteers are installing smoke alarms across the country. Your employees can join them. Going door-to-door, they will install smoke alarms and help families make emergency plans.
