Community Aid Fund

Story

The recent dismantling of USAID and significant cuts to global humanitarian assistance has triggered a global crisis, cutting millions off from life saving aid and support. Local, trusted GlobalGiving partners are working to meet urgent needs on the front lines, even as resources disappear. Your donation to this fund is a vital lifeline-helping community-led organizations save lives today and build resilience for tomorrow.

Challenge

The U.S. government has historically been the world’s most generous donor and supporter of aid and humanitarian assistance. The abrupt decision by the U.S. and other donor countries to reduce and terminate the majority of foreign assistance has caused irreparable, long-term damage to vulnerable communities. Millions of families around the globe are now facing an enormous gap in accessing the resources they need to lead safe, healthy, and secure lives.

Solution

Your donation to the GlobalFunding Community Aid Fund fuels trusted local organizations on the front lines, delivering urgent and long-term support to the communities most at risk from this global funding crisis. As needs shift over the months and years ahead, this fund will adapt-ensuring your gift reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.
