NED · HONDURAS — 22 grants, $3.8M
Key claim: The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is providing 22 active grants totaling $3.8 million to (largely unnamed) grantees in Honduras for government transparency, independent electoral institutions, investigative journalism, and anti-corruption work.
Abstract
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has 22 active grants in HONDURAS totaling $3.8M (public listing as of 2026-07-15). Grantee names are largely withheld for grantee safety (NED duty of care). Sample projects: Promoting Government Transparency and Independent Electoral Institutions ($192.1K); Promoting Investigative Journalism for Accountability ($165.0K); Defending Information Rights and Fighting Corruption ($172.0K); Protecting Journalists During the Electoral Process ($138.4K).
Why this matters
Honduras has been a focus of U.S. anti-corruption and rule-of-law attention amid concerns over judicial independence and electoral integrity; NED’s $3.8M portfolio complements the much larger State Department obligation to the National Center for State Courts. Documenting this country program adds another node to the NED country-by-country map and flags where onward grantee identities remain opaque.
