The Red Cross membership fee is a national donation voluntarily participated in by all citizens to protect lives and safety and support humanitarian activities of the Red Cross. It is used for humanitarian sharing and support projects such as assistance for vulnerable groups in Korea, disaster relief, public medical projects, blood services, educational projects, and social services.
The Red Cross membership fee can be paid through bank counters, virtual account payments, QR codes, and more. The Red Cross will operate the first intensive fundraising period until the end of January 2025 and plans to continue year-round fundraising activities until the end of November this year.
