Contributions to the Metro Atlanta Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (3) of the Internal Revenue Services Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes. The American Red Cross is not a government agency; our programs and services are made possible primarily through the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations who give voluntary gifts of time and money. As the world's largest volunteer organization, Red Cross is able to stretch its resources even further and be the best possible steward of your gift.
