Strengthening Humanitarian Values
“The programs supported by the U.S. International Affairs Budget symbolize our values as a country and our dedication to fighting global poverty, disease, and hunger. These global initiatives also provide America with the tools and opportunities to build much needed friendships and bridge the gaps between cultures.” – Ken Hackett, President, Catholic Relief Services
“The vision of the Campaign is to bring together so many diverse organizations that might not otherwise find themselves around the table together. By focusing our collective energies on the greater goal, we create an unmatched and unprecedented voice for the U.S. International Affairs Budget and for the importance of America’s engagement with the world.” – Nancy Lindborg, President and CEO, Mercy Corps
The International Affairs Budget demonstrates America’s commitment to our humanitarian values and democratic institutions. With the funds provided by the budget, humanitarian and development organizations work to empower men and women to build a better, brighter future for themselves and their children. Programs funded by the International Affairs Budget:
- Support global health initiatives
- Alleviate poverty around the world
- Improve basic education
- Strengthen democratic institutions
- Foster cultural understanding
Working with the USGLC
Few would ever have imagined that Lockheed Martin and Mercy Corps, CARE and Caterpillar, AIPAC and Motorola, and hundreds of NGOs and businesses would find themselves joined together in coalition with a common message and a common mission. Yet, that is just what has happened.
Together, this unlikely coalition has helped to restore billions of dollars to America’s international programs and to educate and engage policymakers and opinion leaders on these critical issues. But, there is still more work to be done!
