March 13, 2025 – February 20, 2026

The Bottom Line

Senator Mike Lee introduced S. 1054 and S. 3748 to shut down the U.S. African Development Foundation and move its foreign aid work to the State Department. These bills aim to cut government spending by repealing the 1980 law that created the agency. Currently, these proposals and the House version, H.R. 7605, are being reviewed by committees and have not yet come to a full vote.

S. 1054 and S. 3748 are two different Senate versions introduced by Senator Lee to achieve the same goal of closing the agency. H.R. 7605 is the House companion bill that would set a 2026 deadline for the termination. Together, these bills represent a coordinated effort across both chambers of Congress to eliminate the foundation.
