Mission and programs · 2024

• In Africa, the IRC worked in 20 countries to respond to new and ongoing crises in each region. In East Africa-Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and Uganda-the IRC provided lifesaving aid in response to conflict, the continued war in Sudan and its impact across the region, and the effects of climate change, particularly severe drought. In West and Central Africa-Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone- the IRC responded with critical services to some of the most acute and protracted humanitarian crises on the continent. In Libya, IRC continues to support protection and other key services to people migrating through the North African country, as well as for conflict-affected Libyans. As part of IRC's Who We Serve & Where We Work mission alignment criteria, by the end of FY25, IRC successfully closed our operations in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Through a network of 29 cities across the country, the IRC's Resettlement, Asylum, and Integration (RAI) U.S. department ensured that vulnerable newcomers have the resources and tools they need to build new lives in America. RAI U.S. has a diverse portfolio of programs aimed at five core outcomes: health, safety, economic wellbeing, education, and power. Staff and volunteers work together to resettle newly arrived refugees, facilitating food, shelter, and other basic needs during the pivotal first months in the U.S. To promote self-reliance over the long term, RAI U.S. also offers English language classes, vocational training, and job placement activities, as well as specialized services for unaccompanied minors, asylees, survivors of torture, human trafficking, and other forms of trauma. RAI U.S. provides comprehensive legal services to help refugees and other immigrants become permanent residents and U.S. citizens, and supports a variety of programs designed to help new arrivals.

• In the Middle East, the IRC worked in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, as well as through our Emergency Response team in the occupied Palestinian territories. This included continued delivery of critical, life-saving assistance to people affected by conflict and protracted crisis. In Syria, following the fall of the Assad government, the IRC expanded its operational footprint from a focus on the north, to respond to needs across the country. In Yemen, our programs included outpatient and reproductive healthcare, mental health support, treatment for acute malnutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, food security, and economic empowerment initiatives, alongside case management for women and children. In Lebanon, IRC provide emergency aid and long-term services for refugees and vulnerable Lebanese communities across the country. These include education, health, economic support, and protection services. Specifically, demand for child protection and women's protection and empowerment services increased sharply in FY25. IRC continued its emergency and programmatic response within Ukraine and supported Ukrainians displaced in Poland in response to the full-scale invasion of Russia into areas of Ukraine. Programming in Ukraine focuses on meeting basic needs and protection in conflict-affected areas, as well as health in hard-to-reach areas. In Poland, IRC carries out protection monitoring and shares information about the needs and risks of Ukrainians who have fled and is supporting families to access education services in the Polish education system.

Across Latin America, the IRC meets urgent needs along migration routes and in host communities while strengthening public systems to help people safely access essential services and regain control of their futures. IRC Latin America has strong relationships with local partners to reach more people with context-sensitive programming as needs continue to grow, and we work exclusively in partnership in Haiti.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.
