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.
The founder of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is Mr. Jean Henri (or Henry in the English spelling) Dunant who is a Swiss. After he decided to found this Movement, the Swiss government helped Mr. Dunant a lot. While they were thinking about the protective symbol for hurt soldiers and medical assistants, they want to show their thank to the Swiss government. Therefore, they reversed the colour of the flag of Switzerland and named it the "Red Cross".
