NED — Eurasia Regional program

Current understanding

The National Endowment for Democracy’s Eurasia Regional portfolio comprises 24 active grants totaling approximately $6.4M, supporting at-risk activists, independent Russian-language media, public policy debates, and European security advocacy across the post-Soviet space. The program complements NED’s separate Russia and Ukraine country portfolios by funding cross-border and diaspora-facing work. Onward subgrantees are only partly traceable from top-line records.
