Development Alternatives Inc., a Maryland-based international development firm that was USAID’s second-largest contract recipient last year, has lost 88% of its projected revenue for 2025 due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s demolition of U.S. foreign assistance programs.
Since Trump’s inauguration, DAI has received termination notices for 85 of its 91 prime contracts, according to a recent legal filing in a court case USAID implementers have brought against Trump and members of his administration. The award terminations have “seriously damaged the company’s financial performance,” the filing reads.
The damages included in the amended complaint, which was filed in late April on behalf of eight different plaintiffs, described a U.S. aid industry facing total collapse.
