In September, FCNL, alongside Bread for the World, co-organized the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance Congressional Fly-In. Together, they called on Congress to protect U.S. foreign assistance as they determine funding levels for fiscal year 2026 (FY26). The IWGFA was honored to have Representative Jim McGovern (MA-2) join the briefing and speak about why he supports robust foreign assistance. These conversations allowed the coalition to engage directly with offices and staff from key committees that shape U.S. foreign assistance policy. Urge your lawmakers to support strong, sustained funding for U.S. foreign assistance.
