Interfaith Advocates Urge Congress to Make FY26 a Floor, not a Ceiling

In March, faith leaders and advocates returned to Capitol Hill for an Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance Congressional Fly-In. This time, their advocacy focused on the appropriations process to allocate funding for U.S. foreign assistance for fiscal year 2027 (FY27). The group emphasized the need to build on what was achieved in the last year’s bill, the H.R.4779 - National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026.
