The International Endowment for Democracy, or IED, is a U.S. non-profit organization founded in 2006 to help people bring back democracy in the USA. Although founded in the USA and based in New York, its funding comes almost entirely from non-governmental organizations and individuals outside the USA. The IED was named so in ironic reference and opposition to the National Endowment for Democracy or NED.

Famous quotes containing the words endowment and/or democracy:
“The parent must not give in to his desire to try to create the child he would like to have, but rather help the child to develop—in his own good time—to the fullest, into what he wishes to be and can be, in line with his natural endowment and as the consequence of his unique life in history.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
