A project under the fiscal sponsorship of Forward Global Philanthropies
Supporting USAID and
International Development Professionals
in the United States and abroad
The Aid Transition Alliance Project addresses the two most urgent crises arising from the erasure of USAID and the international development sector’s institutional and human capital:
A workforce crisis affecting tens of thousands of international development professionals
The potential loss of over six decades of irreplaceable institutional knowledge
In February 2025, four senior women leaders came together to establish an emergency initiative to support the USAID community. The project focuses on promoting mental health and wellness, providing career transition support for international development professionals, preserving critical development knowledge, and strengthening communication and coordination across the sector. With the backing and fiscal sponsorship of Forward Global, the Aid Transition Alliance Project officially launched in April 2025.
