About Appropriations
In the United States Congress, an appropriations bill is legislation to appropriate federal funds to specific federal government departments, agencies, and programs. The money provides funding for operations, personnel, equipment, and activities.
Importantly, there are federal funds available for life-saving global health programs, and we have the opportunity to tell members of Congress to support robust funding for these accounts. In Spring 2025, we will likely be doing advocacy related to FY26 appropriations, providing a key opportunity to call on our representatives to begin building towards the goals of increased investment in global health.

Direct constituent interactions have more influence on lawmakers’ decisions than other advocacy strategies.
In three surveys of congressional staff over a 10-year span, 99% (2004), 97% (2010), and 94% (2015) said that “in-person visits from constituents” would have “some” or “a lot” of influence on an undecided lawmaker.
