History and Leadership

International Rescue Committee (IRC) was founded in 1933 as a branch of the International Relief Association at the request of Albert Einstein and others, including then-First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, to provide aid to refugees fleeing war, persecution, or natural disaster. 9 In 1940, the Emergency Rescue Committee was formed when Paris fell to Nazi Germany in 1940. Soon thereafter, the International Relief Association and the Emergency Rescue Committee merged to form the International Rescue Committee. 10 IRC was granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service in 1955. 11

David Miliband has been the president and CEO of the IRC since 2013. 12 Previously, Miliband was a Labour Party politician who served as the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom during the tenure of Prime Minister Gordon Brown. 13

Former Obama administration Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner is the co-director of IRC’s board of directors. 14

Background

International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global humanitarian aid, relief, development, and pro-migration nongovernmental organization 15 that has operated in partnership with left-of-center Refugees International. 16 In 2023, IRC was rated as the 27th-largest charity in the United States by Forbes. 17 Its global workforce includes 19,300 employees, with approximately 3,100 at its New York headquarters. All other staff are in-country hires. 18

IRC supports the critical race theory-influenced concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 19 The organization is committed to the far-left concepts of racial justice, social justice, and anti-racism. IRC has established a gender, equality, diversity, and inclusion action plan that is guided by intersectionality, decoloniality, accountability, and engagement, 20 and has developed race- and sex-based hiring and leadership targets. 21

U.S. Activities

Immigration and Refugee Policy

International Rescue Committee provides case management, travel assistance, and legal assistance to immigrants, refugees, and asylees attempting to enter the United States. 22 IRC has a network of 29 cities in the United States where its resettlement, asylum, and integration (RAI) department supports refugees and other immigrant groups in the United States. Each year it supports more than 50,000 immigrants in the United States with comprehensive legal services, specialized services for asylees, resettlement advice, English courses, and other programs. 23

In collaboration with its U.S. programs, IRC has supported families at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking to gain entry to the United States. 24 In 2022, IRC provided travel coordination for more than 50,000 asylum seekers released from U.S. government custody into the United States. 25 IRC has launched services in conjunction with the nonprofit Mercy Corps; technology firms Google, Microsoft, Twilio, and Cisco; and others to provide asylum seekers and migrants with an interactive map showing them where shelters, healthcare providers, and other services that are located within the United States. 26

In 2021, IRC spent $297,046,085 of program expenses and $143,708,306 of grants through its RAI network to support various classes of immigrants during their first month in the United States. 27In 2022, IRC’s RAI team supported 62,668 foreign nationals attempting to enter the United States and resettled 18,052 refugees, special immigrants, and Afghan parolees in the United States. 28 29

As of March 2024, IRC has received $14,310,384 in U.S. government grants for refugee-related services in 2024, alone. 30 In 2023, IRC received $7.2 million from the U.S. Department of State for Refugee Admissions Program services. 31 IRC has received other grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on refugee-related projects. 32 33

Policy Positions

International Rescue Committee supports left-of-center refugee and asylum policy positions in the United States. IRC has urged the Biden administration to “restore access to asylum,” surge agency staff and not troops to the border, and expedite pending asylum cases at the U.S.-Mexico border. 34 In 2020, the organization called for a surge of “humanitarian assistance” at the border to transform the U.S. asylum system to create increased regional settlement and “emergency transit centers.” 35

IRC supports legal status for illegal immigrants currently living in the United States, supports illegal immigrants from Central America along main immigration routes through Mexico to the United States, 36 operates “welcome centers” for asylum seekers in the United States, provides travel assistance to these individuals, 37 has represented illegal immigrants facing deportation from the United States, and operates a Welcome Center in Phoenix to support these immigrants. 38

IRC has supported Biden administration efforts to expand pathways for refugee resettlement and an expanded task force for family reunification. It has called for President Joe Biden to speed up asylum cases, support welcome centers for asylum seekers, and develop a humanitarian system in Latin America. 39 40 The group also supports the Biden administration’s efforts to expand temporary protected status (TPS) to more than 500,000 Venezuelans in the United States and wishes for the Biden administration to expand TPS and provide “alternative pathways” to protect other illegal immigrants in the United States from deportation. 41

IRC criticized Trump administration immigration policies, calling the “Remain in Mexico” policy “cruel” 42 and opposing the use of Title 42 legal authority to close the U.S.-Mexico border during the COVID-19 pandemic. 43

In 2021, International Rescue Committee spent more than $1,101,767,261 on program service expenses.
