U.S. government-funded non-profit organization, founded in 1983, that provides grants to promote democracy worldwide.
Key Relationships
Ahmed Subhy Mansour
fellow
Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow in 2002. (relationship to Ahmed Subhy Mansour)
Elliott Abrams
board_member
Abrams served on the NED board from 2012 to 2023. The NED was established in 1983 during the Reagan administration to channel U.S. government funds to promote democracy abroad — the same period when Abrams was using his human rights position to defend authoritarian regimes. Critics note the irony of a pardoned Iran-Contra convict who covered up massacres serving on the board of an organization nominally dedicated to promoting democracy.
Since 2012
Paul Wolfowitz
board_member
Paul Wolfowitz served on the board of the National Endowment for Democracy in the early 1990s, where he first met Shaha Riza; this quasi-governmental role advanced democracy promotion agendas aligning with his neoconservative views on interventionism.
Since 1990
