Slaight Family Foundation to give 13 organizations $1-million each after ‘horrifying’ USAID cuts

July 30, 2025

The Slaight Family Foundation will donate $13-million to more than a dozen humanitarian organizations while they respond to crises that groups say have intensified because of billions in U.S. foreign aid cuts.

Gary Slaight, the foundation’s president and CEO, said it decided to give 13 organizations $1-million each because of what has unfolded since U.S. President Donald Trump slashed funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.
