President Trump defunded UNFPA the last time he was in office

Our funding is in jeopardy. [USA for UNFPA]( The results of the recent U.S. presidential elections mean that Donald Trump is returning to the White House in January. You might be wondering, how does that impact humanitarian aid for women and girls? Well, right now, the U.S. government is currently funding UNFPA at record-high levels and is one of our largest donors. But the U.S. president has a tremendous amount of power over funding for UNFPA, making any transition of power a time of uncertainty for us. In fact, with the stroke of a pen, a president can eliminate ALL U.S. governmental funding for UNFPA. We desperately hope that the incoming Trump Administration will see the value in UNFPA’s lifesaving programs and continue supporting women and girls around the world. But the truth is, President Trump defunded UNFPA the last time he was in office and is extremely likely to do so again. [That’s why we are reaching out to all our supporters to ask for an urgent donation right now. With our funding in jeopardy, will you make a gift to ensure we can be there for every woman and girl, no matter what?]( [MAKE A GIFT]( Funding from the U.S. government is hugely consequential to programs for women and girls around the world. In 2023 alone, U.S. funding enabled UNFPA care and services to reach 3,066,005 women and girls. Now, these lifesaving efforts are in danger of being defunded. But the power to fund UNFPA is not entirely out of our hands. Right now, we have a critical window to prepare and to act. That is why we are aiming to raise $300,000 from private donors before the Trump Administration gets the opportunity to defund our work. [Will you make your first donation today so we can still be there for every woman and girl, no matter what?]( [MAKE A GIFT]( There is a lot of uncertainty ahead, but we promise to keep you posted every step of the way. Thank you for being there.
