Fundraising Events

By fundraising for the Irish Red Cross, you are helping the largest humanitarian network in the world to carry out its work.

Regular and ongoing donations are vital in maintaining the work of the Irish Red Cross, both at home and overseas.

If you would like to get involved and support us through your own fundraising event or project, take a look at the section on how to organise an event. You will find information on how to get your own event idea up and running, as well as tips and guidelines on everything from legal matters to promotions and marketing.

If you are short of ideas but know you would like to do something to make a difference, there are plenty of options to be found in the A-Z of Fundraising Ideas.

Your support can go a long way in ensuring that people in crisis, whether at home or abroad, can receive the help they need.

No matter how small your donation, it can help save a life or make a real difference:

€15 could help buy 100 Emergency Food Ration bars for malnourished children in Africa

€40 will train an Irish therapeutic handcare volunteer

€50 could help buy enough blankets for two families in war-torn countries, providing warmth and comfort

€150 can provide a basic food ration of maize, beans and cooking oil, for four families in Malawi for one month

€2000 will train a skin camouflage practitioner to be able to practice in Ireland
