I was a Professional with expertise in this field & family members are staff and volunteers
Post public compliment
The American Red Cross is one of the oldest, largest, most experienced, and most transparent disaster relief organizations in the world. Donations for domestic or foreign disasters are sure to be handled and used properly.
The Great!
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... highly dedicated and professional.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... advising donors of the leanness of its largely volunteer organization.
I was a Volunteer & I helped plan ways to expand health and safety training to families in underserved communities

This is a fabulous organization with thousands of selfless, well-trained volunteers who provide high quality care after a disaster (shelter, food, clothing, medicine, emotional support).
Executive management changes in recent years have resulted in an even more responsive and lean organization, with donor dollars going where needed most.
The name is American Red Cross, not what is posted here.
The Great!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... good people doing good
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... highly trained, caring, selfless, effective
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... help communities prepare better for major disasters. At least this amount is going to Haiti to help after their earthquake (day 2)
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... getting people to realize that everyone is vulnerable to an emergency or disaster, and that they need to be ready with a plan, supplies, training
Never donate to the American Red Cross for an international disaster. They spend more money on cars then helping people.
The Great!
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... donate it to the ICRC
Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... Insist that all money spent outside the country be donated to ICRC only. Not pretend like the American Red Cross knows what they are doing overseas.
Many years ago, I was smeared by a wicked enemy in the military. Although I was exonerated and promoted, the bad and falsified reports about me remained in my service record. The Red Cross defended me at no cost, and had these lies removed from the record. Not only does the Red Cross save lives,...they save reputations as well.
Thank you!!!
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... Clearing my name and reputation.
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... The public belief that they don't do enough.
