The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a private, nonprofit foundation based in the United States provides grants to support NGO projects around the world for the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions. The foundation was founded in 1983 and it provides more than 1000 grants per year to NGOs promoting democracy in more than 90 countries. NED also offers fellowships and undertakes research and international exchange for democratic activists, human rights advocates, journalists, professors and researchers.
NED is now accepting grant applications from NGOs working around the world working for the promotion and advancement of human rights, an independent media, the rule of law and other democratic goals. Activist organizations in transitional authoritarian countries working to promote democracy, liberalization and the protection of human rights can also seek financial support from NED through its grants program.
Funding decisions are made on a quarterly basis by the NED Board of Directors. In addition to evaluating how a program fits within the Endowment’s overall priorities, the Board considers factors such as the urgency of a program, its relevance to specific needs and conditions in a particular country, and the democratic commitment and experience of the applicant.
The proposal and budget guidelines are available at NED website to develop and submit the proposals. As the next meeting of the NED Board of Directors is scheduled January 2014, the deadline set to accept proposals this year is 4 October 2013. For more information, visit this link.

At Vision innovators foundation-Uganda we are glad that we share the same vision with NED because we equally believe that human beings are born free and there for there rights must not in any way be played with.

I am the Country Secretary of Rights and Democracy Volunteers – RDV, a Nigerian based NGO working for the propagation, sustenance and defense of the rights of the common man, and also the promotion of democratic values not just in Nigeria but across Africa. Recently, we are embarking on a project called TOTRAPOBE – TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF POLITICAL BEHAVIOR. This project is compelling because we identified that ignorance of political best practice and basic political psychology have led to underdevelopment, corruption and avoidable conflicts with the attendant consequence of unemployment, loss of life, property and starvation. RDV has recently succeeded in securing the partnership of NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT – NEPAD towards propagating our programmes across Africa. Thus we wish to access your grant so that we can advance our research and spread the message of TOTRAPOBE to even remote places. Please, send us further information on this grant to enable us apply on time. Regards. I. VALENTINE ABIAESSE
