What is Red Nose Day?

We’re glad you asked! Red Nose Day is a campaign with the mission to end child poverty by funding programs that keep children safe, healthy, and educated. Through the power of entertainment, we bring people together to laugh and have fun, all while raising life-changing cash for the children that need it the most. Since our debut in 2015, we have raised over $230 million and have positively impacted over 25 million children in America, and around the world.

This year, Red Nose Day was held on May 21, 2020.

What's With The Nose?

The Red Nose is our calling card. It’s simple, universal and — best of all — a fun way to create connections and break through barriers. A Red Nose encourages people to come together, share a laugh, and gives the world something to smile about. It’s a powerful way to start a conversation about Red Nose Day and its goal: to end child poverty one nose at a time.

How Do I Get Involved With Red Nose Day?

It’s really very simple. Unlock your digital Red Nose. Encourage your friends to get nosy about fundraising by hosting an event to raise money and laughter. Our special night of Red Nose Day programming airs on NBC in May every year.
