What's currently happening?

Critical global programs are at risk. Recent USAID funding cuts have placed enormous strain on many nonprofits striving to maintain essential global programs. These cuts are impacting a wide range of sectors — from food security and global health to environmental protection, economic development, and education — disrupting support for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Despite these challenges, organizations are adapting and continuing to deliver lifesaving services around the world. This list highlights nonprofits working across five key areas: addressing hunger and famine, advancing global health and humanitarian relief, protecting the planet, building economic opportunity, and strengthening governance and education.
