S 1888 United States Senate · 119th Congress

United States Foundation for International Food Security Act of 2025

The United States Foundation for International Food Security Act of 2025 establishes a private, nonprofit foundation to improve global food security through agricultural investments, operating separately from the U.S. government. The foundation will fund locally-led projects that increase agricultural productivity, build resilient food systems, and reduce hunger, requiring cost matching from non-U.S. sources and conducting impact evaluations to measure results. It cannot fund countries that support terrorism or violate human rights, and must coordinate with existing U.S. food security programs while advancing national security interests. Governed by a board of directors (max 15 members with political balance), the foundation must report annually to Congress on its activities, results, and use of taxpayer funds. This approach aims to improve efficiency, accountability, and impact in U.S. international food security efforts.
