Friend,

A Harvard-Harris survey found that 76% of U.S. voters support chopping waste and fraud from federal expenditures.
 
One need not be Milton Friedman to be enraged by what DOGE uncovered just in Haiti: Since 2010, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has made some $2 billion in grants tied to that star-crossed Caribbean nation.
 
Only 2% of those funds actually reached Haitian companies and organizations.

Inefficiency is one thing, but when Haitians see a mere $40 million of a $2 billion outlay, that smacks of money laundering.

USAID’s antics contrast with the fine work of private-sector, nonprofit organizations like Atlas Network that spur international development without incinerating tax dollars.

Atlas Network partners with more than 500 independent think tanks and civil-society organizations in America and 103 countries worldwide. They support these groups from afar as they leverage local expertise to reduce government barriers to upward mobility.
 
Rather than give the poor fish or teach them to fish, this 100% privately funded foundation empowers local champions of liberty to build “fisheries” that feed communities via the free market.

Here’s how these two organizations contrast –

USAID: Spent $7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid “binary-gender language.”
 
Atlas Network: Paid roughly $600,000 since 2015 to Sri Lanka’s Advocata Institute.
 
After a devastating debt crisis fueled hunger among the poor and prompted others to flee, Advocata Institute persuaded policymakers to implement a pro-market platform that reformed state-owned enterprises, removed price controls on products like cement, petroleum gas, and wheat, and reduced tariffs on everything from maize to feminine hygiene products.

USAID: Blew taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars in Latin America on gendermania, including $47,000 to produce a transgender opera in Colombia and $2 million for a transgender comic book in Peru.
 
Atlas Network: Assisted Colombia’s Instituto de Ciencia Política Hernán Echavarría Olózaga (ICP) with approximately $250,000 since 2012.
 
ICP protected the rule of law and rural private property by stopping legislative and executive actions that undermined property rights, threatened constitutional safeguards for land ownership, and decelerated investment and economic growth.

USAID: Spent $7.6 million in Argentina since 2001, including $55,750 for a “climate-change” presentation to empower female and “LGBT” journalists.

Atlas Network: Backed Fundación Libertad y Progreso with approximately $650,000 since 2012.
 
Fundación Libertad y Progreso helped Argentine President Javier Milei and his government pursue executive-branch reform, deregulate, privatize, and slash monthly inflation from 25.5% in December 2023, when Milei arrived, to 2.2% this January.

USAID: Spent $71 million in Mexico in 2023, much of it for a parade of pet media projects.
 
Atlas Network: Bolstered Estudiantes por la Libertad Latinoamérica (ELL) with a $12,000 grant.

ELL has taught more than 6,000 people entrepreneurship and other free-market values. What does more to advance liberty, subsidizing media elites or teaching everyday Mexicans to start their own companies?

Atlas Network counted 270 such public-policy victories last year by the institutions in its orbit. These triumphs increased freedom and prosperity at a low cost, with private money.
