Freedom House

Freedom House is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to create a world where all are free. We inform the world about threats to freedom, mobilize global action, and support democracy's defenders.

Millennium Challenge Corporation

Created by the U.S. Congress in January 2004 with strong bipartisan support, MCC partners with the world's poorest countries that are committed to just and democratic governance, economic freedom and investing in their populations. MCC provides time-limited grants promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and strengthening institutions. With cost-effective and transparent projects, a lean staff, and an evidence-based approach, MCC ensures American tax-payer dollars are well spent and go to countries that share our values.
