President & CEO @InterActionOrg—convener & voice of the NGO community | Frm Pres. @ONECampaign | Acting collectively to serve the world.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

Submissions are open for #InterActionForum 2026. I’m looking for ideas with practical insight and honest lessons from our work. Join NGO leaders, policymakers & partners to shape what’s next -- June 12🔗 https://t.co/aELFWu5Sb4

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

As the next tranche of U.S. funding to OCHA rolls out, we should act on early lessons. New @InterActionOrg and @ICVAnetwork survey: speed is essential—but timelines, coordination, and clarity matter too. Worth a read: https://t.co/x2lHKNZcw8

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

OECD data shows global aid falling fast. Aid isn’t the only answer—but it’s essential. From PEPFAR’s HIV gains to food aid preventing famine, it saves lives when no alternatives exist. Cutting funding isn’t reform—it’s cutting off oxygen. https://t.co/PfvNsMNem7

I talked about what that really looks like inside NGOs on the Beyond Grants podcast—hard choices, new partnerships, and why the old growth model isn’t coming back (not because the sector failed, but because the world changed).

I recently had the chance to join Lessons for Leaders, a series that highlights honest conversations about leadership. We talked about leading mission‑driven organizations through uncertainty and the importance of staying grounded in purpose. Watch here: https://t.co/dBOE1zp6tz

Four years into Russia’s full‑scale war on #Ukraine, I’m deeply concerned by what InterAction Members see every day: rising civilian harm, families displaced again and again, and brutal winter conditions. #HumanitarianAssistance is vital—but peace is essential.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

Important reporting by @TheAtlantic on what aid terminations mean for families already living on the edge. Ending lifesaving assistance isn’t abstract—it’s clinics closing and kids losing care. Debate matters, but children should never pay the price. https://t.co/wVm4JXZxrw

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

Heading back from the @iascch meeting in Rome. Candid talks on protecting civilians, strengthening local leadership, and navigating brutal funding gaps. Grateful for the collective resolve to adapt and deliver better—together.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

This @devex report is a sobering look at what aid delays mean on the ground: stalled programs, rising needs, and gaps no private philanthropy can fill alone. Our humanitarian partners are doing heroic work — but public leadership and funding are essential. https://t.co/6xPbJlYofI

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

Glad to see Congress advance the $50B foreign affairs bill. It brings needed investment and support to communities facing crisis around the world. Our nonprofit Members turn these resources into real impact, and we’ll work to ensure funds move quickly and effectively.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

The #StopWorkOrders a year ago disrupted how the U.S. delivers #GlobalAssistance, from rapid disaster response to long‑term progress. As we look ahead, the U.S. can rely on U.S. nonprofit service organizations—transparent and quick to act—to deliver help where it’s needed most.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

The impacts of last January's #StopWorkOrders on communities worldwide are still real. Looking ahead, U.S. nonprofit service organizations — @InterActionOrg Members with decades of experience — are essential partners for fast disaster response and long‑term support.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

One year on, the world is watching. @InterActionOrg and our Members stand ready to lead, but we need a policy environment that matches our ambition—with clarity, consistency, and courage.

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

Resilience carried us through the past year—but resilience alone isn’t enough. @InterActionOrg is urging policymakers to ensure U.S. global assistance is predictable, consistent, and grounded in long-term partnerships. #StopWorkOrder #HumanitarianAssistance #DevelopmentPolicy

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

One year after the #StopWorkOrder disrupted U.S. global assistance, @InterActionOrg is focused on what comes next. We’re advocating for a system that restores trust, delivers high impact for people in need, and reaffirms America’s commitment to principled global engagement.

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

Welcoming the bipartisan FY26 foreign assistance bill — an important step toward rebuilding momentum after a year of disruptions. But it’s still not enough to meet the scale of today’s global challenges. Read InterAction’s full statement here: https://t.co/f9R7f6DGoj

[Tom Hart @Tom_InterAction]

This is an important step in funding and a new way doing business, with much work ahead to ensure sufficient and principled assistance to those in need.

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

InterAction welcomes the U.S. $2B humanitarian commitment across 17 countries—an important step toward meeting urgent global needs.

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

InterAction applauds the hard work of the U.S. Administration, the Security Council, multilateral partners, and others to achieve this result.

Now we need to urgently scale humanitarian assistance and ensure full access to populations in need before winter sets in.

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

Yesterday's U.N. Security Council approval of the U.S.-brokered Gaza peace plan is a vital step forward in bringing peace, stability, and humanitarian support to the region.
