WHO WE ARE

THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world. Each year, NED makes more than 1,000 grants to support the projects of non-governmental groups abroad who are working for democratic goals in more than 90 countries.

""It's moving to see people out there who are dedicated to democracy in their countries and willing to sometimes take great risks for it.""

Amb. Princeton Lyman reflects on NED's work, along with Stephen Sestanovich and Will Marshall
