Donating to IFES

Democracy depends on action — and on people like you.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, IFES relies on support from governments, foundations, and individuals to advance credible elections and strengthen democratic institutions worldwide. Your contribution directly enables practical, high-impact work in complex environments — where it matters most.

From expanding access through inclusive election technologies to equipping citizens with the knowledge to participate fully, your support delivers tangible results. Every dollar helps safeguard electoral integrity, reinforce public confidence, and ensure that democratic processes function as they should.

At a time of rapid geopolitical change and growing pressure on democratic systems, sustained support is essential. Your donation helps protect the principles of freedom, fairness, and accountability, today and for the future.
