The recent cuts to the US government’s foreign aid program have left a devastating gap in global health, extreme poverty, and humanitarian programs, putting millions at risk. Many of the world’s most effective nonprofits–already operating on tight budgets– are now facing existential shortfalls that will stop lifesaving interventions.
That’s why Founders Pledge and The Life You Can Save have joined forces to launch the Rapid Response Fund—a fast, high-impact way to keep critical programs running and ensure that every dollar goes where it’s needed most. We’ve already done the rigorous vetting to identify the most cost-effective organizations delivering real results. As our top-rated partners face financial peril, this Fund will provide immediate bridge support, sustain essential programs, and seize high-impact giving opportunities in a rapidly changing landscape.
This is a pivotal moment—your donation today can help prevent a catastrophic loss of progress in global health, extreme poverty, and humanitarian aid.
