President Trump issued an executive order freezing aid on Jan. 20, pending a review. Within some organizations, there are no staff members left to complete the survey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The distribution of the survey is the latest twist in an eight-week-long roller coaster ride for aid organizations. The chaos began with a stop-work order for employees and contractors of the United States Agency for International Development and a freezing of all funds, including reimbursements for hundreds of millions of dollars already spent. That was followed by a process allowing organizations that provided lifesaving medical treatment and food aid to seek a waiver allowing them to continue their work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then came terminations, last Wednesday, of more than 5,000 projects and programs. Since then, some projects have been told they were fully restored, and others that they are restored only to the terms of their original waiver, which runs out next month. Almost none have seen any of the funds they are owed unfrozen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Wednesday, the Supreme Court <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/05\/us\/politics\/foreign-aid-supreme-court-trump.html\" title=\"\">ruled<\/a> that the administration must heed a lower court\u2019s order to release frozen foreign aid. However, that ruling came after thousands of projects had already been bankrupted by the eight-week-long freeze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new questionnaire had been sent to many organizations before the Supreme Court ruling. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis whole process is baffling: first we were asked to restart lifesaving programs, but we haven\u2019t been given money to do it, and now we\u2019re being asked to review programs which were, in theory, previously reviewed and already terminated,\u201d said Christy Delafield, a spokeswoman for FHI 360, an organization providing health and humanitarian aid in 60 countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new surveys ask grant recipients \u2014 including thousands of emergency food aid, malaria control and tuberculosis treatment projects \u2014 more than 25 questions on how their projects contribute to U.S. national interests. It also provides a checklist that includes some of the Trump administration\u2019s top political goals, including stopping illegal immigration and defending \u201cagainst gender ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It allows answers of up to 150 characters (about 35 words), and awards from 1 to 5 points based on how well a project serves each goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Among the survey questions, quoted verbatim below:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Can you confirm that this is not a DEI project and that there are no DEI elements of that project?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Can you confirm this is not a climate or \u201cenvironmental justice\u201d project or include such elements?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">How much does this project directly impact efforts to counter malign influence, including China?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">What impact does this project have on limiting the flow of fentanyl, synthetic drugs, and precursor chemicals into the U. S.?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Does this project directly impact efforts to strengthen U.S. supply chains or secure rare earth minerals?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Does this project directly contribute to limiting illegal immigration or strengthening U.S. border security?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a sworn statement on Feb. 26 responding to a lawsuit filed by aid organizations, Peter Marocco, the State Department official who has been overseeing the cuts to U.S.A.I.D., stated that \u201cthe process for individually reviewing each outstanding U.S.A.I.D. obligation has concluded\u201d and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had \u201cnow made a final decision with respect to each award.\u201d<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>He indicated that approximately 297 State Department contracts (rather than grants) were still to be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a March 5 filing, the government said it had \u201cnearly completed an individualized review of existing contracts and grants\u201d and that \u201cnearly all\u201d of the State Department and U.S.A.I.D.\u2019s foreign aid funding had been \u201cindividually reviewed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a report on compliance with a court order submitted March 6, the government said that \u201cmost of\u201d the contracts \u201chave been individually reviewed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">David A. Super, a professor of law at Georgetown University, said that by repeatedly saying they had conducted an individualized review when there was little evidence they had done so, state department staff members were \u201cexposing themselves to contempt of court and their attorneys to serious consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While it was not a requirement that the review involved collecting information from grant recipients, by sending out this questionnaire, the government has implied that it does require the information, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHere they are saying that to know whether your activities support the foreign policy of the United States, we need to know these things, but we didn\u2019t know these things when we performed our review,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The survey was sent to projects that were funded through 32 different U.S.A.I.D. divisions, including the Bureau of Global Health, the Bureau for Food Security, the Office of the Chief Economist and the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Karoun Demirjian<!-- -->
