The new results of our survey with Humentum on the US government's aid freeze are in and we're seeing important insights about furloughs, waivers & stop work orders. 27% of nonprofit respondents received waivers, 51% termination notices & 19% project modifications. See more: www.globalaidfreeze.com

Our updated global survey results show that nearly 700 respondents report that 15,147 local sub-grantees face major setbacks due to the US funding freeze. Over a third of for-profits & a quarter of non-profits have just a month of funding left. 📊 See details in the slides below.

Why this matters:

🔹 Shared data, stronger advocacy
🔹 Real stories, local consequences
🔹 A united sector, a louder voice

🗣 Survey available in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish.

#AidFreezeTracker #WeWalkTheTalk

We're joining forces with Humentum on the Global Aid Freeze Tracker, a sector-wide data collection effort to document the true impact – from halted programs to disrupted communities and livelihoods.

If your organization has been affected, take the survey here: bit.ly/globalaidfreeze

The U.S. government’s #stopworkorder on #foreignassistance is more than an operational disruption — it’s a direct hit to the resilience of the entire global development sector. 🌍 🧵

If you've been impacted by the freeze, we'd be grateful for your contributions.

Global Aid Freeze Tracker

Our survey is still open at www.globalaidfreeze.com in Spanish, Arabic, French, and English. The more data we can collect, the better we can inform those who are mobilizing resources, information, and tools to try to assist organizations and people in need.

The survey includes insights into the extent to which life-saving services and livelihoods will be negatively impacted by the stop-work order.

It shows that 26.2% of non-profit respondents have just one month of funding remaining, while the figure rises to 31.9% for for-profit respondents. A further 20.5% of non-profit respondents say that 100% of their budgets have been impacted by the freeze.

📊 We're following the wide-ranging impact of the US Government's aid freeze closely, and have some results to share from our ongoing public survey of more than 500 people. 🧵
