Revenue model

1. U.S. Foreign Aid Appropriations: USAID was funded by annual congressional appropriations for foreign assistance. In 2023, U.S. foreign aid totaled $62 billion, making the U.S. the largest donor worldwide. Aid programs saved approximately 3 million lives annually through interventions targeting HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and vaccines. Following the 2025 dismantling, funding was severely reduced and reprogrammed.

Core offering

USAID administered U.S. civilian foreign aid and development assistance programs globally, delivering large-scale humanitarian relief, global health interventions (HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, vaccines), food security and nutrition programs, democracy and governance support, and crisis/conflict response. It channeled U.S. congressional appropriations through bilateral government agreements, NGO grants, implementing partner contracts, and UN agency contributions.

Product overview

USAID was a U.S. federal government agency that administered foreign aid and development assistance. The agency operated various global health programs (including PEPFAR for HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis), humanitarian food assistance, and development projects. Following its dismantling in 2025, operations were absorbed into a reduced State Department bureau. USAID's Office of Inspector General (OIG) continues independent oversight operations.
