Putting American Strength to Work for Global Good
Campaign for America First International Assistance (CAFIA) unites American farmers, manufacturers, faith groups, and local industries to deliver international assistance that protects jobs, strengthens local economies, and shares American compassion globally.
Our Mission
We believe America’s role in international assistance is both a moral duty and a strategic economic responsibility.
At CAFIA, we work to:
Advance U.S. strategic interests and national security.
Restore America’s moral leadership in upholding human dignity.
Promote self-reliance and create lasting stability abroad.
Extend compassion to our neighbors in greatest need.
Who We Are
CAFIA is a coalition made up of American farmers, manufacturers, and suppliers as well as grassroots organizations, community leaders, and faith groups that are working tirelessly to protect critical programs that deliver strategic international assistance that create and sustain American jobs.
We know that the United States is strongest when we uphold our moral values and that leadership begins on our own soil.
Why This Matters
Without reform, American international assistance risks fostering dependency abroad and straying from our nation’s vital security and economic interests. However, by aligning assistance with both our strategic priorities and our moral responsibility to the most vulnerable, we can strengthen America’s influence, uphold our deepest values, and promote lasting global stability.
Our farms and processing plants produce the raw ingredients needed for global nutrition. Protecting international assistance safeguards their livelihoods and strengthens local and rural economies.
Supporting Our Farmers
From factory floors buzzing with machinery to freight trucks rolling down country highways, international nutrition programs help sustain jobs across the heartland and support farmers, food processors, truck drivers, and the families who keep American-made assistance moving.
Protecting American Jobs
Delivering American-made nutrition strengthens our global standing, secures vital supply chains, and reinforces the industries that power our economy. By providing assistance that reflects our strategic interests, we demonstrate U.S. leadership on the world stage.
Leading With Strength
Extending compassion to those in greatest need honors America’s long-standing tradition of helping the vulnerable. Every package of international assistance reflects our foremost principles, demonstrating that American assistance is guided not only by strategy but by conscience.
