Media Advisory: Blumont and Equal Access International Unite to Expand Global Impact (September 8, 2025)

Under a new strategic agreement announced today, Equal Access International (EAI) is joining Blumont, Inc. Blumont’s acquisition of EAI unites two organizations with complementary experience and a shared commitment to the communities they serve around the world.

“I am thrilled to welcome EAI to Blumont,” said Jonathan Nash, Blumont’s President & CEO. “EAI joining our team is an opportunity to build on our collective strengths as the sector transforms.”

Blumont and EAI bring together decades of experience across international development and humanitarian assistance, working with communities navigating protracted crises and shifting social, political, and economic conditions. Recent programming reflects that, while their missions are aligned, the organizations implement activities across diverse geographies and contexts.

“This agreement was borne out of a shared approach and vision for the future,” said Graham Couturier, President & CEO of EAI. “Working together creates spaces and opportunities for new thinking and greater resilience. On behalf of everyone at EAI, I am delighted to be joining forces with Blumont.”

EAI will continue implementing ongoing work under its established name, and Couturier will remain as EAI’s President & CEO.

The acquisition proceeded with the full endorsement of both organizations’ boards of directors. With the agreement, Blumont becomes the sole member of EAI’s Board of Directors, with Blumont’s Board of Directors providing guidance and oversight. Three members of EAI’s current Board have been nominated to serve on Blumont’s Board; Couturier will join Blumont’s Executive Management Team.

“Our goal is to evolve with purpose, while staying grounded in what matters most,” said Nash. “We’re committed to the people we work with—communities, donors, and partners—and we’ll continue challenging ourselves to deliver with even greater efficiency and impact.”

In line with the agreement, integration is expected to take several months, with a focus on maximizing operational efficiencies and establishing a foundation for organizational resilience.
