Did you know that the U.S. spends $6 billion on a single aircraft carrier while the entire budget of the World Food Program is only $4 billion? We spend less than 1% of our federal budget on foreign aid.
Join us for an enlightening event to learn about The Borgen Project a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting extreme poverty through advocacy and policy change.
The Borgen Project believes that leaders of the world's most powerful nations should be doing more to address the global poverty crisis. Our mission is to make extreme poverty a focus of U.S. foreign policy and international diplomacy.
At this event you'll discover how The Borgen Project operates on multiple fronts:
Congressional Relations: We meet with U.S. leaders to build support for life-saving legislation and effective poverty-reduction programs.
Mobilization: We inspire people worldwide to make poverty a political priority.
Education: We teach basic advocacy skills that empower citizens to communicate with their government.
Awareness: We build an understanding of global issues and innovations in poverty reduction through our online and community presence.
Learn why we focus on U.S. leaders and how small changes in policy can have a massive impact on global poverty.
