Though it depends on the branch of government, (Executive, Judicial, Legislative), each of them figures out what they want, what they need, and what they think they can get approved, then submits a figure for approval. At least that's true for the Executive and Judicial Branches - Congress just votes themselves whatever figure they like.
It's a long, drawn out process (trust me), but essentially what happens is that every year, each agency of the government asks each of its departments for their estimate of what they need for a budget for the coming fiscal year (which starts October 1). Everyone submits a figure based on their projections for the next year based on trends and projected needs, with a little padding to be safe. Those figures are sent to the Agency heads, is pared down a bit and sent back, until a figure is reached that the boss feels is a viable one that will be accepted. It's then forwarded to the next level in the chain, reviewed, pared down, sent back, reviewed and pared down some more, etc.
Eventually, a compromise figure is reached, and it's forwarded to the branch head (in the Executive Branch, the President), and from there to Congress, where they pick it apart some more. After about 4 months of haggling, the budgets are finally approved and go to Congress for final vote and authorization.
Agencies typically ask for a lot more than they think they can get, and always more than they asked for the previous year. By asking for more, they usually wind up with a figure they wanted anyway. President Reagan was a master at the budget game - he always asked for more than he knew Congress would approve, and always wound up getting exactly what he wanted to begin with.

Does the Red Cross have governmental funding?
No, the Red Cross does not receive governmental funding. Its funding is strictly by contributions. Individual national governments do contribute to the Red Cross. It might help to clarify the difference between 'contributions' and 'government funding'. The International Committee of the Red Cross may not receive government funding - although yes, they do receive 'contributions' or donations from national governments. However, on the national level, the Red Cross organizations are receiving government funding. In the case of the UK and Canada, the Red Cross organizations in those countries are not just receiving 'contributions', they are receiving government funding and have funding agreements with the governmental aid agencies. The British Red Cross was received the most government funding (£52 million) above all other international development NGOs from the Department for International Development (UK). This funding was listed under bilateral aid in DfID accounts, which is still government funding and comes with conditions. The Canadian Red Cross received $210,268,139 from all levels of government. The funding the Canadian Red Cross receives from the federal government (specifically the Canadian International Development Agency, CIDA) comes from both funding agreements with specific outcomes and matching donations for emergency situations.
