The International Rescue Committee (IRC) was founded in 1933 and opened our office in Denver in 2016. Over the past decade, we have helped to welcome more than 4,400 refugees and immigrants to Colorado. We believe our state is stronger because of our newcomer neighbors, students, employees, business owners and friends.
Over the next year, the IRC in Denver expects to serve over 1,500 clients. This includes new refugees arriving to the U.S. who need initial housing, employment and other support to become self-sufficient in their new communities in Colorado. It also includes hundreds of continuing or returning clients who are navigating health services following recent Medicaid changes, experiencing food or housing insecurity due to rising costs, facing complicated immigration legal processes, or interested in exploring new career and educational opportunities.
Your support makes a real impact! Funds raised through Colorado Gives help the IRC in Denver provide holistic, consistent support to refugees and immigrants as they rebuild their lives in Colorado.

The mission of the IRC is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster, including the climate crisis, to survive, recover and gain control of their future.
In 1933, Albert Einstein and a small group of humanitarians formed what would become the International Rescue Committee. Today, we deliver lasting impact by providing health care, helping children learn, and empowering individuals and communities to become self-reliant, always with a focus on the unique needs of women and girls. Our work spans more than 40 crisis-affected countries, and we provide resettlement, asylum, and integration services in communities across the United States and Europe.
