Who We Are
Convener. Thought Leader. United Voice.
Founded in 1984, InterAction is the largest alliance of international NGOs in the United States. We mobilize our Members to think and act collectively to serve the world’s poor and vulnerable, with a shared belief that we can make the world a more peaceful, just and prosperous place—together.
Our Mission
