U.S. Foreign Assistance

InterAction engages with policymakers about the critical role of U.S. foreign assistance and advocates for robust federal funding for international development and humanitarian programs implemented by U.S.-based NGOs.

Knowing that U.S. assistance is crucial to alleviating poverty, creating sustainable development, combating climate change, and fending off rising authoritarianism, InterAction's Global Development Policy and Learning team convenes and mobilizes InterAction Member organizations for coordinated outreach with Congress and the executive branch.
