Resilience Fund - Double Your Donations!
Alongside Hope has launched a Resilience Fund in response to the devastating cuts to international aid by the U.S. and other governments. The Fund will support many of our partners whose programs are now in jeopardy.
Touched by the terrible human impact of these funding cuts, a generous donor has offered to match all donations made to the Resilience Fund by June 30, 2025, up to $250,000.
One of our partners, Village Health Works in Burundi, provides life-saving Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to malnourished children. “On the orders of the world’s richest man, USAID halted its operations seemingly overnight,” writes Dr. Jennifer Furin in Time magazine. “In the wake of this startling termination, those of us working on the front lines are left with only what was already in our stores.” With the supply of the peanut butter-like packets almost completely cut off, health care workers like Dr. Furin are faced with the challenge of rationing the supplements. The Resilience Fund will allow Alongside Hope to support VHW in bringing production of RUTF to Burundi.
As we approach the holiest time in our church year, please consider a special gift for Alongside Hope's Resilience Fund to help us meet the $250,0o0 match. As our matching donor shared, “If we all give what we can, Jesus multiples it like the loaves and fishes.”

Alongside Hope issues urgent appeal for partners hurt by international aid cuts.
The cuts to international aid by USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and a number of European governments are having devastating impacts on aid organizations all over the world, including Alongside Hope partners. Alongside Hope has been working closely with the Anglican Alliance, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the ACT Alliance (Action by Churches Together) and Cooperation Canada to address the impact of these cuts.
The damage done is staggering. We cannot possibly fill all the gaps, but to maintain as many vital programs as possible, Alongside Hope is launching an urgent appeal to donors. Your support of the “Resilience Fund” will allow Alongside Hope to provide partners with additional support for refugees, HIV-related needs and for women recovering from gender-based-violence. These include:
