Charities or non-profit companies operate some emergency medical services. They are primarily staffed by volunteers, though some have paid employees. These may be linked to a volunteer fire service, and some volunteers may provide both services. Some ambulance charities specialize in providing cover at public gatherings and events (e.g. sporting events), while others provide care to the wider community.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the largest charity in the world that provides emergency medicine. (in some countries, it operates as a private ambulance service). Other organisations include St John Ambulance, the Order of Malta Ambulance Corps and Hatzalah, as well as small local volunteer agencies. In the United States, volunteer ambulances are rarer, but can still be seen in both metropolitan and rural areas (e.g. Hatzalah).
New York City has over 42 active volunteer ambulance services contributing normally between 1 to 4 units. The largest Chevra Hatzalah has 16 divisions and over 1,500 volunteer EMTs and Paramedics.
