It does this through services that are consistent with its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The Red Cross also receives reimbursements and grants on occasion from local, state, and federal government agencies for specific projects.

American Red Cross volunteers more than 1.3 million strong come from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds. Red Cross volunteers assume a variety of leadership positions within the organization, from the all-volunteer Board of Governors, which sets policy for the organization, to the individuals who teach first aid at community centers, organize community blood drives, or provide comfort to families affected by disasters.
