Urgent Initiatives

Bill Gates expresses support for USAID
"I've met the people who work for USAID. These are heroic people. Other than the military, the most heroic people who work for the US government, and the work they do makes a huge difference... We may not get every program back, but the benefit to the world, the United States, particularly for people who have religious values, is unarguable." - Bill Gates​

Our Efforts
Who We Are
Founded in February 2025, OneAID is a women-led organization run by former USAID affiliated staff that emerged in the wake of the dismantling of the agency. As USAID was the first government entity to encounter significant changes in the new administration, OneAID formed to serve as a trusted information hub for affected staff, educate the American people through press engagement, and inform Members of Congress of developments and impacts in a rapidly changing environment. Over 100 days into the administration, OneAID has moved beyond the emergency response phase and is exploring how we can continue to preserve and protect U.S. international assistance while advancing citizen engagement for a vibrant democracy.
