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 American Red Cross is a nonprofit organization governed by a board of governors and operates independently of the federal government. It was established by Clara Barton in 1881 and is part of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. While it receives some government funding, it primarily relies on donations, grants, and volunteers to carry out its humanitarian mission.
Governmental funding of research is important because it supports the advancement of knowledge, promotes innovation, and drives economic growth. It allows researchers to explore complex issues that may not be addressed by private sector funding alone and ensures that scientific discoveries benefit society as a whole by addressing public health, environmental, and social challenges.
