Advisory Board Member

What we do We don’t fund aid programs directly. Instead, we draft policy, lobby Congress, and give campaign contributions to Members of Congress. Our team spans all 50 states and over 80 college campuses, allowing us to match campaign contributions with canvassing and other grassroots support. Why we do it We are motivated by the fact that 14 million people may die over the next four years unless foreign aid is restored. We also seek to reform the foreign‑aid system to make it more strategic and effective. Demonstrated Impact The data underscores A4AL’s success: 650 meetings with key congressional staffers, 800 advocates recruited across all 50 states, and $400 million in global health‑care funding protected from severe cuts.
