Founders Pledge & The Life You Can Save: Rapid Response Fund
The Rapid Response Fund will fill critical time-sensitive funding gaps created by the suspension of US foreign aid.
The U.S. government's cuts to foreign aid have created an urgent crisis — high-impact, evidence-based programs in global health, extreme poverty, and humanitarian aid are suddenly at risk. Organizations delivering lifesaving interventions now face unexpected shortfalls that could cost lives. We can’t afford to let that happen.
Times of crisis require swift and decisive action. That’s why The Life You Can Save and Founders Pledge have jointly launched the Rapid Response Fund — a fast, strategic way to bridge gaps in funding and keep the most effective programs running at full capacity open for donations from all who care about the impact of this crisis.
We’ve already done the hard work of identifying and supporting the most cost-effective interventions in global health & development. Our recommended partners are among the best in the world at turning dollars into impact, but they now face an unprecedented funding crunch.
This fund will provide urgent bridge support and sustain essential services for our current recommended funding opportunities while also allowing us the agility to seize new high-impact opportunities as they arise in this rapidly shifting landscape. Every dollar you donate goes where it’s needed most — help us act now before it’s too late.
Donors
Art Petrenko As citizens of some of the richest countries in the world, it is our duty to help those in need. Just because their suffering is happening far away does not make it any less real.
Lex OHalloran It makes me sick with sadness to think of the tens of thousands of human beings sacrificed to shave a fraction of a percent off the federal budget. This is the least I can do.
Juan Travis Not everyone has the resources you have, and giving the poorest less resources is never a good way to go about politics. Please give, you will make a difference.
