October 6, 2025 — A fabricated document presented as a memorandum from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) recently appeared on social media in the Philippines. The document, which uses NED’s logo and letterhead, is a forgery. It was not written, issued, or authorized by NED.
NED categorically rejects the claims contained in the forged document. The National Endowment for Democracy is an independent, nonprofit foundation that supports groups around the world who are working peacefully to strengthen democratic values, human rights, and accountable governance.
NED provides grants to independent organizations that pursue their own initiatives to advance transparency, civic participation, and government accountability. NED does not direct or coordinate their activities, and it does not support or engage in any violent or unlawful actions whatsoever.
