What is the money of this emergency bridge fundraiser for, exactly?
With the closing of USAID and the reduction of federal social service funds, HUMA has lost all its funding. The emergency bridge fundraiser is designed to fund the overhead that keeps the organization open for three months while we set-up new sources of income.
