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.
