Dossier us-aid aid award 26-mar-2026
A foreign-assistance grant or cooperative agreement obligated to an implementing partner.

State · NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY — $315.0M (USA)

Key claim: The Department of State obligated $315 million to the National Endowment for Democracy as core funding to support its worldwide democracy projects under the NED Act, with place of performance in the USA.

Abstract

Department of State obligated $315.0M to NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY, for work in USA. THIS CORE FUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE NED 'S WORLDWIDE PROJECTS PER THE NED ACT.

Why this matters

Core NED funding is one of the largest single democracy-assistance line items in the U.S. foreign-aid portfolio and a bellwether for congressional support of democracy promotion. Tracking the size and channel of this obligation helps distinguish State-managed democracy programming from USAID-implemented streams within the broader Democracy and Governance theme.
