United States foreign aid (sometimes referred to as US foreign assistance, or Function 150) is "aid given by the United States to other countries to support global peace, security, and development efforts, and provide humanitarian relief during times of crisis."[1] US foreign aid is financed from US taxpayers and other government revenue sources that Congress appropriates annually through the United States budget process. It does not include money from private charitable organizations based in the United States or remittances sent between family members. The Congressional Research Service divides it into five categories: bilateral development aid, economic assistance.[2] , humanitarian aid, multilateral economic contributions, and military aid.[3] Although the number of agencies and departments managing and implementing foreign assistance funds and programs can change over time, in recent years, "there are over 20 U.S. government agencies that manage foreign assistance programs."
