Usage notes
Founded in 1961, it won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and prevent its use as a weapon of war. It is funded entirely by voluntary contributions, with the United States historically its largest donor. Funding cuts in 2025 forced reductions in rations in several crises.
