USAID STOP-WORK

Also in the article was this -

These grassroots tracking efforts are largely self-funded and self-directed. Healy and McClure pay for the website tracking U.S. job losses themselves. Accountability Lab stood up their survey without any dedicated funding, though they've recently gotten some support to continue the effort.

Other professionals within international development have also offered to work for free to help people find jobs or help organizations get new funding. Healy said that willingness reflects the broader ethos and resilience of the community.

“We love planning, it’s our favorite thing,” Healy said. “We are like, ‘This is the moment we were made for. Let’s go.’”


I expect at some point that some kind of funding contribution option might happen although financial assistance is normally happening when people donate to orgs that also received USAID funds.
