The private, nonprofit group, which receives funds from Congress, has helped foster that change, according to its longtime president, Carl Gershman.
"Our job, our responsibility, our mission, given by the Congress, is to be helpful, is to lend a helping hand. That's what we do. But the main driving forces are inside those countries, and it's basically the people in those countries."
The NED is one of several affiliated pro-democracy groups marking their third decade. The National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute, linked to the two major U.S. political parties, have similar missions.
The groups work with non-governmental organizations, political parties, democracy activists and some governments to help establish and strengthen democratic institutions. The NED does so by providing grants to those groups, while the party-backed groups are field-based - operating their own offices in the countries, says National Democratic Institute President Ken Wollack.
"In most all of those countries, we work with the ruling party, the opposition party, we work with the government, we work with civil society."世界上大部分国家与1983年国家民主基金会成立时相比更加民主。
根据其长任主席Carl Gershman的说法，这一接受来自国会资金的私有非盈利组织帮助促进了这一变化的进程。
“由国会所赋予的我们的工作、我们的责任、我们的使命，就是发挥作用，就是伸出援手。这就是我们在做的事情。但主要的动力是存在于这些国家内部的，基本上都是这些国家的人民。”
民基会是若干个正在庆祝进入第三十个年头的亲民主团体的其中之一。与美国两大政党相联系的国家民主研究所和国际共和研究所也有类似的使命。
这些团体与非政府组织、政党、民主活动者及部分政府共同工作，帮助建立并加强民主机构。民基会通过向这些团体提供资助完成这一任务，而根据国家民主研究所主席Den Wollack的说法，这些党派支持的团体都是基于本地的——也就是在这些国家中有其自己的办公室在进行运营。
“在几乎所有这些国家中，我们与执政党、反对党共同合作，我们跟政府一起工作，也跟公民社会一起工作。”
