Who We Are
Established in 1984, InterAction is the leading alliance of NGOs and partners in the United States. With a focus on serving the world’s impoverished and vulnerable populations, our organization fosters collective thinking and action among our Members.
InterAction brings together the leading voices in global development and humanitarian action to drive greater impact than any organization can achieve alone. Through collective advocacy, shared learning, and strategic collaboration, we help members shape policy, strengthen their operations, and amplify their influence on the world’s most pressing challenges. Joining InterAction means joining a community committed to making global change more effective, more coordinated, and more powerful.
One Year On: The Impact of Foreign Assistance Cuts
This month’s anniversary of the stop‑work orders is a powerful reminder of why a strong, connected community matters. When the orders halted U.S. development and humanitarian programs, organizations across our sector were suddenly confronted with operational confusion, funding disruptions, and urgent questions about how to continue serving people in crisis.
InterAction Members didn’t face that moment alone. They had a trusted space to compare approaches, exchange real‑time insights, coordinate with peers, and elevate concerns with clarity and unity. By pooling their expertise and networks, they found ways to keep programs moving and ensure that millions of people continued receiving lifesaving support.

New Resource: Choose to Invest 2026
As the nation’s leading policy advocate for development and humanitarian relief programs, representing over 160 U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that implement programs worldwide, InterAction is proud to present Choose to Invest (CTI). CTI is a public resource to improve understanding of the critical accounts that fund emergency relief and recovery. From these accounts—a fraction of the overall federal budget—come the critical programs that further the strategic interests of the U.S. abroad and pay dividends for American taxpayers.
