The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), established in 1983 through bipartisan collaboration between Republicans and Democrats, is dedicated to developing and strengthening democratic institutions worldwide. Since its inception, NED has remained at the forefront of democratic struggles globally while evolving into a hub for activists, practitioners, and scholars to exchange activities, resources, and knowledge.
NED's primary funding source is annual congressional appropriations from the United States Congress, primarily administered through the United States Information Agency. Beyond financial grants, NED supports and hosts institutions such as the Journal of Democracy, the World Movement for Democracy, the International Forum for Democratic Studies, the Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program, the Network of Democracy Research Institutes, and the Center for International Media Assistance.
The NED grant dataset curated by the CnOpenData team encompasses comprehensive grant project details, including project name(项目名称), project region(项目地区), country(项目国家), objective(项目目的), recipient organization(受捐赠组织名称), funding amount(捐赠数额), and project description(项目描述). This dataset provides scholars with rich, multidimensional resources for researching non-governmental organizations.
