NED · COLOMBIA — 41 grants, $6.2M
Key claim: The National Endowment for Democracy is providing $6.2M across 41 active grants in Colombia for democracy promotion activities including anti-corruption, civic engagement, and multistakeholder advocacy.
Abstract
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has 41 active grants in COLOMBIA totaling $6.2M (public listing as of 2025-07-15). Grantee names are largely withheld for grantee safety (NED duty of care). Sample projects: Conducting Prospective Analyses on Democracy ($50.0K); Promoting Multistakeholder Advocacy Networks ($80.0K); Exposing State Capture and Political Corruption ($100.0K); Promoting Youth Civic Engagement ($150.0K).
Why this matters
Colombia is one of NED’s larger Latin American country portfolios, and $6.2M across 41 grants signals sustained U.S.-funded engagement on anti-corruption and civic advocacy in a country navigating peace-process implementation and contested governance. Tracking onward subgrantees matters because NED’s pass-through structure obscures which Colombian civil-society actors ultimately receive support.
