American Red Cross Recognizes Corporate Partners for Disaster Relief Support
The American Red Cross has recognized over 170 corporations and organizations as key partners in its disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery efforts. These entities contribute through the Mission Leader Program, Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP), and Disaster Responder Program by providing financial and in-kind donations year-round. With an increase in extreme weather events such as floods, wildfires, tornadoes, and super typhoons, these contributions are critical to enabling the Red Cross to respond swiftly and support long-term recovery for communities affected by disasters. In 2026 alone, more than 14,000 volunteers have been deployed across the U.S. and its territories in response to major crises. The organization also supports families against common emergencies like home fires through initiatives such as the Home Fire Campaign, which has saved over 2,690 lives since 2014. Cliff Holtz, president and CEO of the American Red Cross, emphasized that these partnerships are essential for ensuring immediate relief is available whenever disasters strike. The recognition highlights a growing reliance on corporate support to sustain disaster response operations as climate-related events become more frequent and severe.
