We’re inviting you to join us on Wednesday, March 26th, for an exclusive webinar where you'll hear directly from the team behind the Rapid Response Fund, our response to recent federal aid cuts.
In the past month, federal aid freezes have turned into cuts, essential programs have stalled, and countless lives have been put at risk. In response, the Rapid Response Fund, a partnership between Founders Pledge and The Life You Can Save, has mobilized quickly — raising over $2 million and deploying more than $500,000 in critical grants to high-impact charities on the frontlines.
In this webinar we’ll share:
You’ll also hear from some of the incredible grantees making an immediate difference with this funding.
This is your opportunity to ask questions, learn more, and see first-hand how rapid, strategic philanthropy can save lives. Register for the webinar now.
The need remains urgent, and your support is critical. We hope to see you there.
