The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. While NED receives funds from Congress to support democracy in over 100 countries, the need for assistance is growing as challenges facing democracy increase around the world. Private funds enable NED to act flexibly and quickly when support is most needed. All contributions are tax-deductible. Please contact give@ned.org for any questions on ways to join our mission.
