Open NED grants for media projects

The following application deadline is September 20, 2023.

Associations, civic organizations, and independent media outlets can apply.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is looking for proposals for initiatives that improve democratic institutions and advance democratic aims.

NED welcomes applications from groups operating in a variety of settings, including as recently established democracies, nations with a mixed system of government, extremely restrictive societies, and nations going through a democratic transition.

The size and breadth of the projects determine the award amounts, but the typical grant lasts a year and is in the neighborhood of $50,000 USD.

NED is open to suggestions from groups for nonpartisan initiatives that encourage the freedom of information and independent media, advance accountability and transparency, and promote the rule of law and human rights.
