Reminder from hussein in 2008:
Moar on NED:
National Endowment for Democracy per the Swiss Study noted here: >>56633 (PB) funds over 1600 NGOs world wide.
Looked 'em up on USAspending.gov and since 2008, they've rec'd over $2 Billion dollars in funding; somewhere between $100M and $260M per year since 2008. Two Organizations per the Swiss study that benefit from NED funds are the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute.
The National Democratic Institute (DUNS #110309622) also receives USG funds directly; $306M since 2008
The International Republican Institute (DUNS #126510312) receives USG funds directly: $137M since 2008
The National Democratic Institute has seven "also known as" names in the spending database - The International Republican Institute only has three aka names, but they both share a common aka: "CONSORTIUM FOR ELECTIONS AND POLITICAL PROCESS".
The Consortium for Elections and Political Process (DUNS #927923250) is a legal joint venture between the NDI, the IRI and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems. The Consortium is in the spending database for a whopping $3.2 Billion dollars. Which, according to their IRS Form-990 is partially distributed back to the National Democratic Institute, The Intern'l Republican Institute and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems noted in the Form-990 as 'sub-grants'.
