Financial Donation Policy
It is our policy to honor donor intent 100%. Please select the fund you would like to support and know that your gift is used for that purpose.  Thank you for choosing to support the work of the American Red Cross.  We appreciate your partnership in our lifesaving mission.

Annual Giving Campaign Fund
Our Annual Giving Campaign supports basic Red Cross services in Marion, Polk and Lincoln Polk Counties of Oregon. The funds raised through this campaign are for operating funds – they stay in our communities. This money supports our disaster services, helping people who have lost their homes due to fires or other disasters. They also support our services to military families, where we act as the link or liaison between military personnel and their family members.

The purpose of the campaign is to not only raise money but also to raise awareness – to let people know the Red Cross is local, here in the community, and run by local staff and volunteers.

The Red Cross is NOT a government organization – we get no funding from the government or the National Red Cross; we depend on local support from our communities for the services we provide.
 

Willamette Chapter Local Disaster Relief Fund
You can help the victims of disasters in your own backyard by making a financial gift to the Willamette Chapter's Disaster Relief Fund. This Fund enables the Willamette Chapter to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disasters.
 

National Disaster Relief Fund
You can help people affected by disasters like floods, winter storms, tornadoes and hurricanes by donating to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. On those rare occasions when donations exceed Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.

Your gift enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of all disasters. You may also call 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or mail your donation, to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
 

Where Our Need is Greatest
The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbor's down the street, across the country and around the world in emergencies. The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. You can help ensure that the Red Cross can continue to provide these lifesaving services and has the resources, talent and ability to continue to deliver them by making a donation to support all of its core services today.
