WASHINGTON (AP) — A division of the U.S. Agency for International Development eliminated by Trump administration cuts last year was reborn Thursday as an independent nonprofit, allowing its international work to continue in a new form.
This reincarnation of USAID’s Development Innovation Ventures as the nonprofit DIV Fund is thanks to $48 million raised from two private donors. It is a rare instance of continuation after the Trump administration froze all foreign funding last year and unleashed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to tear down the agency that delivered U.S. foreign aid for 60 years.
Out of that destruction, which cost tens of thousands of jobs and caused people around the world to die, many private efforts were made to preserve decades of data and knowledge housed at USAID, help recipients keep vital programs running and reimagine how international development might work.

Just need a vehicle to receive the $billion grants to be restored if/when a Democrat President and/or Congress are “elected.”
Bring back DOGE.
Find out who gave em the $48 millon and doxx the hell outta them.....maybe even arrest em. Do to them as they’d do to us. Make the process become the punishment....make em spend millions in legal defense. Spit.
To ‘die’ no less. The horror. Tragedies abound.
“caused people around the world to die,”
Wishing the AP would die.
From the articile:
“and caused people around the world to die,”
OMG. AP just never quits, do they?
Fixed...
Congress refunding them, NPR, etc., again as well. 2025 was one big psyop.
“. . . cost tens of thousands of jobs and caused people around the world to die. . .”

Hey, if private donors want to fund teaching Bonobos how to clog dance in central Africa...I don’t care.
Does this mean that they will now petition for funds from what’s left of USAID, with the new non profit?
$42M won’t cover payroll.
“Funders, previous grantees and DIV Fund staff gathered in the glass-walled penthouse of a Washington think tank as the sun set Thursday to mark the new chapter.”
Translation, “funders” a vast number of tax exempt foundations. Grantees, the leaches formerly funded by the government directly.
Where were the commandos when you need them. Taking this bunch out would been a definite win for the Republic.
On a positive note, given the staff cuts at the walpo, they can probably find at least 50 or so information officers now to spread their dribble.
Egads, but I loath the Associated Press, or Izvestia (Известия.) This news rag is anti-USA and salivates over any issue it can masticate over a morsel from the Trump Administration.
Despite its lack of overt success, the Rural Reconstruction program and the lessons learned from it are largely credited with providing a model for the subsequent community development initiatives of the RF and other international aid organizations, as well as a prototype of Point IV, the US technical assistance program that eventually became the Agency for International Development (USAID).
That’s how the RF played the game almost from the start of it’s existence. Identify a problem as a possible catastrophe, throw money at it to gain some fake credibility and then turn the funding over to the taxpayers. Can you see why many people refer to them as Deep State? Aside from sounding like it’s almost legitimate, it provides a layer of semi-acceptability and that works like a charm. For them.
CIA repurposing funds?
CIA, of course.
Do illegal immigrants cause US Citizens to die?
