The IRC in LA thanks the Claremont Colleges for their donation and commitment to refugees

The IRC finds conflict-affected countries need $1.7B to limit potential hunger brought on by COVID-19, $760M needed in high refugee-hosting developing countries.

We know you care about refugee families. And it’s because of supporters like you that we’re able to make a difference for families fleeing crisis zones around the world. Thank you for standing with us on our mission to help refugee families survive, recover and regain control of their lives.

Sixty million people are fleeing their homes, two-thirds within their own countries and the rest crossing borders to seek refuge. While the world has never been more generous in responding, offering $28 billion in 2015, the $15 billion gap between humanitarian needs and available financing has never been so wide. We need better aid to make the greatest impact with scarce resources and overcome the challenges of modern displacement.

Even though the IRC in Dallas’ physical offices had to close due to COVID-19, our work did not stop. Read about how our departments are evolving and changing to provide the same level of service in this time of crisis.
