Founders Pledge & The Life You Can Save: Rapid Response Fund

The Rapid Response Fund filled critical time-sensitive funding gaps created by the suspension of US foreign aid.

We don’t currently support donations to this nonprofit. To request we add support email us.

The Rapid Response Fund closed on August 31, 2025. Thank you for your support!

The U.S. government's cuts to foreign aid have created an urgent crisis — high-impact, evidence-based programs in global health, extreme poverty, and humanitarian aid are suddenly at risk. Organizations delivering lifesaving interventions now face unexpected shortfalls that could cost lives. We can’t afford to let that happen.

Times of crisis require swift and decisive action. That’s why The Life You Can Save and Founders Pledge jointly launched the Rapid Response Fund — a fast, strategic way to bridge gaps in funding and keep the most effective programs running at full capacity open for donations from all who care about the impact of this crisis.

We collaborated with experts and former USAID leaders at Project Resource Optimization (PRO) to identify and support the most cost-effective interventions in global health & development. Our recommended partners are among the best in the world at turning dollars into impact, but they now face an unprecedented funding crunch.

This fund provided urgent bridge support and sustained essential services for our recommended funding opportunities while also allowing us the agility to seize new high-impact opportunities as they arose in a rapidly shifting landscape. Every dollar you donated was directed where it was needed most.
