Each
year the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) makes direct grants to hundreds
of non-governmental organizations worldwide working to advance democratic goals
and strengthen democratic institutions.
In 2012, NED funded about
1236 projects in 92 countries around the world. Grant amounts vary depending on
the size and scope of the projects, but the average grant lasts 12 months and
is around $50,000.
NED
funds only non-governmental organizations, which may include civic
organizations, associations, independent media, and other similar
organizations.
NED encourages applications
from organizations working in diverse environments including newly established
democracies, semi-authoritarian countries, highly repressive societies and
countries undergoing democratic transitions.
NED does not make grants to
individuals, governmental bodies, or state-supported institutions such as
public universities.
NED
is interested in proposals from local, independent organizations for
nonpartisan programs that seek to:
·
Promote and
defend human rights and the rule of law

Support
freedom of information and independent media

democratic ideas and values
