Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Ned has a single mission - advancing democracy in the world. Our targeted, demand-driven small grants program responds to the needs of local ngos that defend human rights, strengthen independent media and civic education, and empower women and youth in a manner that enables them to establish credibility as democratizing forces in their own societies. Ned further leverages its grants program through networking and recognition activities that provide political support and solidarity (the world movement for democracy, the center for international media assistance, the reagan-fascell democracy fellows program, and democracy award events), as well as through scholarly research that gives activists access to the latest insights on strengthening liberal values and developing strategies for democratic transition (the journal of democracy and the international forum for democratic studies).
Programs: Democratic governance and political parties - the endowment seeks to promote strong stable political parties committed to the democratic process.
education, culture and communication - the endowment funds programs that nourish a strong democratic civic culture. Support is provided for civic education, training programs, publications and other communication media.
pluralism - the endowment encourages the development of strong independent private sector institutions such as trade unions, business associations, civic and women's organizations.
