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.[1][2] It was established in 2013 following a proposal by the Polish Presidency of the European Council,[3][4][5] and receives funding from the European Commission and twenty-three European countries.[6]

In 2016, the EED supported more than a hundred projects and pro-democracy activists in 18 countries neighboring the European Union.[7]
