Grant Program 2013 - NED: Direct Grant to NGos

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, December 19, 2012 0 comments

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
·   Strengthen democratic ideas and values
·   Promote accountability and transparency
·   Strengthen civil society organizations
·   Strengthen democratic political processes and institutions
·   Promote civic education
·   Support democratic conflict resolution
·   Promote freedom of association
·   Strengthen a broad-based market economy
