European Endowment for Democracy

The European Endowment for Democracy is a European non-governmental organisation with the stated purpose of promoting democracy, particularly in the European Neighbourhood, Turkey and the Western Balkans. It was established in 2013 following a proposal by the Polish Presidency of the European Council,  and receives funding from the European Commission and twenty-three European countries.

In 2016, the EED supported more than a hundred projects and pro-democracy activists in 18 countries neighboring the European Union.
