WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has launched a new interactive dashboard that makes it easy to access information about its grantmaking across 82 countries around the world. The tool maps grants made by NED in 2025 and allows users to explore them by country, region, and thematic focus, among other categories.
Encompassing more than 1,500 projects, the dashboard highlights NED’s support to local organizations advancing democracy in their own countries through its direct grants and grants awarded to its Core Institutes: the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, the Center for International Private Enterprise, and the Solidarity Center. The dashboard enables users to see how NED’s investments support key democratic priorities, such as countering foreign authoritarian influence, protecting freedom of expression, and combating corruption.
“Transparency is a cornerstone of the programs we support around the world, and it is equally fundamental to how we steward public resources at home,” said NED President and CEO Damon Wilson. “This dashboard reflects our commitment to transparency, giving the American people, Congress, and others a clear view of what we’re supporting and where we’re investing our resources.”
The dashboard is part of NED’s efforts to make important information about grantmaking transparent and accessible. NED also maintains a comprehensive public listing of all active grants to reflect its current portfolio of programs and partners.
The dashboard and active grant listing are available on NED’s grantmaking webpage. Additional information about NED’s programmatic priorities is available in its 2025 Annual Report.
