We receive countless emails on a monthly basis from individuals
asking assistance for one reason or another. Honestly, we know
of no organization that just passes out money because people ask
regardless of how "in need" someone may be.
However, if you do need individual assistance then you should
consider searching locally for assistance first to see what
resources are available before launching a full
internet search.
To help you find the answers you
need we would recommend you complete this free anonymous
questionnaire so you will be able to obtain the most accurate
list of benefit programs for which you may be eligible.

seeking.

United States leads the world in development assistance via- USAID - www.usaid.gov
The United States has a long history of extending a helping
hand to those people overseas struggling to make a better life,
recover from a disaster or striving to live in a free and
democratic country. It is this caring that stands as a hallmark
of the United States around the world -- and shows the world our
true character as a nation.
U.S. foreign assistance has always had the twofold purpose of
furthering America's foreign policy interests in expanding
democracy and free markets while improving the lives of the
citizens of the developing world. Spending less than one-half of
1 percent of the federal budget, USAID works around the world to
achieve these goals.
USAID's history goes back to the Marshall Plan reconstruction
of Europe after World War Two and the Truman Administration's
Point Four Program. In 1961, the Foreign Assistance Act was
signed into law and USAID was created by executive order.
Since that time, USAID has been the principal U.S. agency to
extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying
to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.
USAID is an independent federal government agency that
receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of
State. Our Work
supports long-term and equitable economic growth and advances
U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting:
- economic growth, agriculture and trade;
- global health; and,
- democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian
assistance.
USAID provides assistance in four regions of the world:
With headquarters in Washington, D.C., USAID's strength is
its field offices around the world. We work in close partnership
with private voluntary organizations, indigenous organizations,
universities, American businesses, international agencies, other
governments, and other U.S. government agencies. USAID has
working relationships with more than 3,500 American companies
and over 300 U.S.-based private voluntary organizations.
